scale of 1 to 10, how badly did labor hurt?
I am starting to think, reading forums online and so forth, that labor pains can be manageable if you don’t fret too much about it, get in a nice warm tub with some relaxing spa music, and have a good partner/doula to support you, massage you, and tell you how beautiful you are, etc. etc. I’m not a new age cupcake, I wouldn’t rule out a C-section or an episiotomy/epidural by any means if they were medically necessary (all for it if things aren’t going well). But I am hoping for a natural childbirth, both for quicker recovery time and because I’m just not so in love with the idea of being cut open or stabbed in the spine. You know how it is.
How bad was your labor pain? Natural childbirth, or did you take some drugs? (Not judging either way here.) Scale of 1-10 it for me and let me know how it went 
Thanks!
