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.

Mine natural delivery without epidural. Depended on laughing gas but hated the gong gong feeling after inhaling, vomited after delivering too. Only helped to ease the pain just a tiny bit. My labour lasted 40 mins (after break water bag) so I was really lucky I don't need to tahan so long. Contractions feel like very bad menses cramps that come and go, when fully dilated it felt like you really need to poo damn badly. For me contractions still tolerable, pushing the baby out is even more painful. But all pain is worth it when you see your LO come out safe and sound!
