It's not like you can foresee how painful the contractions are going to get or whether you can handle them at the point of getting an epidural. If she said she stoically braved through the pain and felt like punching someone then, yeah, she really needed the epidural.

I also delivered drug-free after 48 hours with an out-of-position baby, at 42 weeks. I think having freedom of movement, versus laying down on a bed being strapped to monitors, was very helpful. Midwives can check a moving, laboring mom remotely. This birth came across as unnecessarily intervened with and over-medicalised.

It is very true, when you have anxiety, you tend to not trust anything anyone tells you, so you just want to be in control, and get out. It’s lije when I go to the dentist, I have to completely relax my body and tell myself it will be ok, they know what they’re doing...because if you tense up too much, the medicine won’t work, you have to relax your muscles so it can flow through you.

I wouldn’t say the anaesthetist necessarily made a mistake, some people just have scar tissue in their spine & it can impede the epidural acting effectively, therefore it needs to be re-sited. No one is at fault & often even the patient won’t realise they have scar tissue from a previous injury or surgery.

Bringing a new life into the world should not be reduced to fodder for the masses who are looking for anything remotely controversial or something to criticize. I hope this new generation of Duggars starting families will wise up and cut the cord with TV and mass media. Let their kids live normal lives away from cameras and gawking fans/critics. Some things are more precious than money.
