I can't decide, keep changing my mind. I think I'm swaying towards the birthing centre as I really want a waterbirth, and want to avoid an epidural if possible. I'm petrified of needles, and the thought of one going into my spine scares me to death! But then I don't know if I'm going to get to the point where I change my mind and really want one if it gets too much.. (You can't have them at my local birthing centre)
The birthing centre looks so nice, like a hotel room, big double bed, birthing pool, really relaxing, nothing like a hospital, but when it comes down to it, will I be able to do it, as I've no idea what to expect, even after watching births on tv, I guess no one really knows how they are going to cope until they have done it. Just wondered if anyone had any experiences of giving birth in the birthing centre without the option of an epidural, rather than the hospital? I know everyones experiences are different, but really need help to make up my mind on this one! X
