No Epidural

No Epidural

I've heard that the Bible says that women should experience he pain of child birth and not try to use things to numb the pain, is that true?

Epidural No

I would like to hear some reference to that statement Gossip. The only Scripture I can think of is when God tells Eve:

Key word "multiply". Interesting to notice that it was already in God's plan for the women to feel pain when give birth, nevertheless there is no part where it says you should not do anything to stop that pain. Mind you, the epidural (as many people mistakenly assume) do NOT, I repeat, do NOT stop the pain at all but reduces it to the point where you can at least have some strength to give birth but you STILL feeling the pain, oh heck, yes!

Since I know the difference (my first son was born with epidural and my second without) there is no way I am having another child without one! *thankyouverymuch* After 22 hours of labor and then deliver a baby without an epidural was what I thought was the closest to death. I am not kidding. I did not have the strength at all and the pain was unbearable. I thought I was passing out when I gave a quick prayer and recovered a little bit somehow.
