Hi, anyone went through natural delivery without taking epidural? I am not taking epidural but open to laughing gas and injection in thigh as the 2 options for pain relief. Mind to share how the contractions feel like? This is my first pregnancy and I can take mentration pain but not needle pain.

I did, no epidural but I did take laughing gas! I'd say it's a real good alternative but you have to follow closely to what the nurses say to do :) You basically just have to hold the gas mask and take deep breaths, and after a few you'll feel the effects and no longer the pain - what I did feel was a little "high" from it haha, but nothing harmful because it went away shortly after! As for what labour feels like, it's different for everyone - but I'd say mine felt like a stomachache that I needed to just poop. As soon as possible. The natural feeling and urge is definitely there, so just follow your instincts :)
