Paige tells us of her 2 hospital births with planned epidurals and OB care. When Paige emailed me about being a guest she wanted to share her story because she’s talked with many women about how they felt they weren't holy enough because they got an epidural or because they want one. I wanted to note that using pain medications or interventions in labor doesn't dictate whether you or your birth is “holy” or not, and whether you’ve had an c-section does not impact you or your birth’s holiness either. Our faith doesn't disallow medical interventions or use of pain meds.  I would personally invite you to explore your reasoning behind the “why” of wanting or not wanting medication, and I suggest no matter what you are planning you have some labor coping strategies up your sleeve as you will see later.(Sorry there are some audio connection issues here and there, the downside of recording via the internet.)
