I tried to avoid meds w/my daughter -- but after being in intense labor for 10 hrs (with no sleep for over 28 hrs,:eek:), I was exhausted & had no idea I was trying to deliver a 9 lb 5oz baby (neither did the docs)! So, I was finally given an epidural & allowed to take a nap for 90 min. before a rather :rolleyes: delivery ( --just grateful that it didn't require an emergency C)! With my son ('only 7.5 lbs'), -- he was practically born in the car -- I honestly didn't even look pregnant, while I was carrying him!;)
I would say that it totally depends on the person & the situation with the labor & baby. I loved not having any meds after my son's birth -- I was on the phone 15 min. later!:D
