epidural rant.

[sweetieiv]

So i got bitched out by a teenager the other day because i used epidural. Here's the story, i recently moved so i said my back was killing me. She immediately asked me if i had gotten epidural and i said yes. So she began to bitch me out. She ripped my head, chewed it, and spit it out. She dicided that she is more of a woman than me just because she had her daughter naturally with out Epi. She even said women who use epidural should not call themselves moms because we can't even give birth right. She also said she is fucking glad my back hurts. Ahhhh i wanted to slap the dumbass out of her. I didn't say anything at all because i was affraid i would say something that would end in a fight and like i said she is a teenager and i am not so would it be illegal if i kick her butt? Lol but seriously my back was hurting because i had just moved that day and the day before and i helped my dh move everything so yeah ofcourse my back would hurt. for moms who didn't want epidural i just wanna say congratulations you Did it naturally and i respect that but I am just as good as a mother and just as strong of a woman as you are. Ok rant over.

Wtf?
I didn't even get a choice. I didn't want it, becuase the thought of the needle in my spine terrified me.
I had pre-eclempsia and the ob said I had to have it becuase of my blood pressure.
My mom had to hold me while I sobbed in fear so I wouldn't move while getting it.
Does that make me less of a woman?
Maybe it makes me a wuss, but I still had that baby in 2 pushes, epidural or no.

That's what i was thinking.

Quoting countrygirlkat:

If that teenager is so darn smart, why is she a teen mom?  That doesn't seem very smart to me........

I think a young Mom is different than a teen Mom. You're a young mom but you can't compare your maturity to that of a 15 year old girl. Just sayin too.

Quoting militarywife09:

I'm not even 21 with an almost one year old and a almost 5 year old. I'm married, a high school graduate, and a college graduate. Just sayin'



That chick is a bitch op. Why does she care what you do with your vagina?

I've had 2 dds with epi and one w/out(she was born less than 15 minutes after we got to the hospital).

Having an epi doesn't make giving birth any less than w/out. Although, if I had to do all 3 again, Id never do the epi again. Not for any altruistic reason. Just because I have moderate arthritis in my lower back which has been attributed to my botched 2nd epi.

You should have laughed at her. It annoys know it all teens to no end.

[sweetieiv]

I was so calm with during the entire process. I even asked my Mom to braid my hair and to make sure my face was sweat free because i didn't want to look yucky in the pictures Lol so yeah if i had another baby id defrinately get epidural again no questions asked.

Quoting momo3fgr8tteens:

Did you tell her they all come out of the same womanly place? I did it both ways and felt more like a woman with the epidural because I wasn't cussing like a sailor through most of it. 

[ayla91]

i didnt use an epi but thats because of my own personals fears, opinions, and wants. it doesnt affect me or my kids if you use one lol do what you please!

[sweetieiv]

My back is feeling great now thanks. A good bubble bath Did the trick.

Quoting LynnGrey:

Had the first naturally. The next two had an epi. No preference.

How is your back?

How old is she? I mean if she is under the age of 18 I suggest she shut her mouth. If she was under the age of 18 I would have told her to keep her legs closed she was grown and knew wtf she was talking about. She wouldn't be happy with me when I go done with her. I did it both way NEVER again will I not have an epi.
