Preparing for baby #3

My last baby was delivered vaginally with no pain medication. Although my opinion is that pain medicine should be avoided if possible (due to risks to mom and baby), I must admit apprehension about doing it naturally again. I was good till about 9 cm. But going from 9-10....owwwww. Not fun. Not looking forward to that part again.

On the up side, I had barely any pain pushing out my 9 lb 9 oz baby, I will gladly do the pushing part again!!
