I would totally choose option 2! I had a really easy pregnancy and I basically had the labor you described in option 2! I was pretty lucky all around I think.

@bebefly: haha i know...but I figure my next pregnancy/labor will probably be a doozy to make up for this easy one!

Even wiyh my complicated pregnancy, I would choose option 2. Yhere was something so special about that time!

I haaaated being pregnant - I'd pick option 1 for sure! I had a quick labor for my first so I think I could have an unmedicated birth for my second.

Hmm...well, it depends. Do you get the stretched out skin and uterus and all that jazz with Option #1? Lol. Because while pregnancy has been easy for me, I'd have to choose #1 if I didn't have to whip my body back into shape. Labor is much shorter than that journey is ever going to be!

option 2!!

Totally option one, although I mostly liked being pregnant - I had an unmedicated birth, and didn't think it was too bad....I think I just have really high pain threshold.

2. I didn't mind being pregnant that much!

Newly preggo so can't comment on if I love being preggo or not, but I think I'd choose option 2 just because tearing is one my biggest fears while giving birth.

Option 2! I'm so scared of tearing...

Option 2 for sure, my pregnancy was pretty easy and I actually enjoyed it, it was such a surreal experience. I enjoyed birth even though after my meds wore off it was painful, so I would love to have a pain free birth I wouldn't give up either experience though.

Option 1. I did not like having little control over my body and it really did a number on me mentally.

I think option 2. I hated being pregnant, but I was pretty freaked out about labor/having a newborn (even though we'd been trying for over a year). Carrying him for 9 months gave me time for the idea of having a baby to become a reality, mentally. I went from saying "shit this is going too fast I'm not ready I'll be a horrible mother and I'm so freaked out and what if I drop him/her?" to "Okay, time to get this baby out of me, I'm ready". I wouldn't trade in that...adjustment period.

I loved both peing pregnant and natural childbirth to can I make my own option three? Even though pregnancy was more than a little crazy at times I wouln't give that up for anything. I would also never choose medicated labour given the chance to have another unmedicated labour.
