Regrets of Birth Procedure

Do you have any regrets at the way something happened during birth? I know I’ve had four babies, but it was only one that I had a regret. By regret I do not mean I wish it didn’t happen. I was induced with my fourth child, twice and I wish now that I would’ve just allowed him to come on his own. It ended up being fine but I think things could’ve went more smoothly without the inducement.

I’m not the only one that wishes something happened differently during birth. Melissa Joan Hart has announced that her one regret was actually not getting an epidural with her second child. I never experienced this so I wouldn’t know. If you ever got one did you get one with the other baby? Do you regret not getting one or actually getting it? Let me know.

Melissa Joan Hart decided on doing a home birth and letting nature take its course, which means no epidural. She was in labor for 9 hours. OUCH! She told USMagazine:

"You want to get [the baby] out as soon as possible, so you really work. I told my mom and my husband, don’t let me have [the drugs]. I kinda regret that one," says Melissa.

Is there anything you wish would’ve happened differently? Maybe instead of the hospital you wish you did a home birth? I know I always dreamed of one but I think things just happened to quickly for us to ever think about it.
