I have had a natural birth and an induced birth with an epidural after 30 hours of no epidural. I can for certain tell you natural contractions are not the same as Pitocin contractions. Natural contractions are a lot easier to manage over long periods of times. I told myself the entire labor I could do it and I did! You must believe in yourself. I also listened to birth affirmations by Bridget Taylor Doula on YouTube! So helpful. #birth #naturallabor #noepidural #birthstory #labor
