  • natural?? drug-free?? - are you mad?!!!! :eek:

    In my defense it was my first baby and had no idea how much it would hurt or how long I would be in labour. After a few hours of mild contractions I was still walking about and thought that was it and said to my DH "this isn't too bad I don't what everyone moans about". I was so naive. In the end I had gas and air, pethidine, an epidural and a ceasarian!!!
