I had my first two with an epidural. For my third, I was going to do it without any pain meds, just to see if I could, and what it would be like.

Then, a friend of mine said, "Why? If science has developed ways to make things less painful, why would you do it any other way? There is NO other procedure during which a person would say, Oh, heck no, no pain medication for me!!!"

Kinda made me feel silly. : )

Congratulations on your new baby girl!

Very good point.

When I go to the dentist, the first thing I say is, "I need laughing gas, turned up high, with no filter."

[petitfour]

Congratulations on your baby girl! Great day to be born, too!

Never had an epidural with any of ours, but I was begging for one or a C-section with the last. Of course, by the time the epidural dude arrived, my head was spinning, and I was spitting green pea soup at everyone and yelling, "Get OUT!" Or maybe it was "Get him out now!" We had a baby a few minutes later. I think I'm becoming a wimp with age.

You should do it naturally next time. ; )

Congratulations on your new baby.

Put me in the 'better living through chemistry' crowd though. For every pain we can avoid, there are about 100 we can't. :)

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Thanks for the ping. Congratulations!

The white flag was raised (after mummurs of 'dysfunctional labor' and 'c-section' were tossed out there), the epidural went in, the pit was dripped, and an hour later, our little boy arrived.

When my wife was in labor for the birth of our first Bradley baby it was slow going for her and she finally gave in and said she wanted the epidural.
I knew that if I could get her to hold off a little longer she would make it so I told her I would go get the doctor and tell him. I stalled and stalled for a good hour trying to keep her mind in the game and by the time the birth happened, she had forgotten all about the epidural.

She was very grateful for my subterfuge.

Hope Mom and baby are doing well. Good job Dad!

So, it being the middle of the night of course, I, the coach, failing to execute the Husband-coached Natural Childbirth techniques I had learned, fell asleep.

Or fainted out of fright? :-)

Congrats and all the joys and blessings of raising those wonderful children to you and your wife! I raised 4 and it was the best most valuable time of my life.

Congrats and Welcome to the World, Little Miss GB!!

Seems like a complicated way to give birth, what with all those different gates to go through! Hope she brought her passport! ;)

MAZEL TOV to you my friend, but .... what's the deal with all this "WE" stuff!

[raybbr]

....but, strangely, she is not yet sleeping through the night, per her Father's instructions....

Uh... That doesn't come till they are about 7, 8, 9 or ten months old.

By the way, this thread is no good without pics. :-)

Congratulation!!!!!!!!!

[litehaus]

Congrats! We need more Freepers!

[raybbr]

Congratulations from another pair of young FReepers-to-be!!!!

[Gumlegs]

Very nice. Congratulations and best of luck.

We really need to see photos, though.

[myprecious]

she's 14 you'll be banging on her bedroom door at 11am

And when she is 17 you will be wide awake until she is safely delivered to your living room by some boy that knows he had better not be late.

Just enjoy the ride, it is the time of your life. Congratulations and many blessings on your whole family!

I'm kind of fond of the Uncle Marty method of childbirth. My late Uncle Marty was a real character. He could say or do stuff that would get everybody else in big trouble but he was always able to easily pull it off.

Anyway, my Aunt Stella one day woke up my Uncle Marty who was sleeping on the couch to inform him that it seemed like it was time for her to be giving birth soon. My Uncle replied with these famous words, "Take a cab."

Uncle Marty gave Aunt Stella a few bucks for cabfare and she took off. A few days later my Aunt returns home from the hospital and wakes Uncle Marty up on the couch again. She proudly presents the baby and proudly announces that it is a son named Gerald (my Cousin Jerry). "Great," my Uncle Marty said sleepily and quickly resumed his slumber.

My Aunt to me that story. She was pissed off at the time but later took it in stride as just part of my Uncle Marty's character. You sort of had to know Uncle Marty to understand how he could get away with that stuff.

Anyway, that is the Uncle Marty method of childbirth.

Congratulations, Mr. GB, MRs.GB, boyGB and girlBG !!!

All God's blessings on your family.
