Today, I found out my dad has a 1-in-a-million disease that makes your liver process pain medication at twice the rate of a normal person. If that wasn't bad enough, he also tells me he hopes I don't have it too, because it can be passed down. He said this because I'm 29 weeks pregnant. FML

Today, I found out my father didn't have a rare brain disease, and that he was just an alcoholic. I've been taking care of him every time his "brain disease" acts up, for 2 years. FML

Today, my father, who I haven't spoken to in over 12 years, contacted me. He just wanted to let me know that I should get tested for a rare neurological disease. The only thing the man has given to me since my conception is potentially a death certificate. FML

Today, I’m getting a very interesting demonstration of how genetics work: I have inherited all my dad’s health issues, plus those from my mom, plus a bunch of new ones that belong exclusively to me. FML

Today, I had a seizure. My dad responded by saying it always happens with my disease. I never have had a disease. Now I have to wait for my dad to stop yelling at my mom about not telling me, so I can ask what I have in the first place. FML

Today, I'm found out I'm pregnant. My husband and I spoke at length about how we were going to handle things, which included him "forbidding" me from having an epidural, because he doesn't want our baby to "come out addicted to drugs." FML

Today, I found out that I have a heart disease. When I went to tell my family, they all said that it should kill me faster so that I can donate my organs to my cousin. FML

Today, I found out that my unborn son has an abnormally large head. I have an abnormally small and narrow pelvis, and I'm allergic to local anesthetic, so no epidural or spinal for me. FML

Today, I told my dad that I'm pregnant. He shook his head and said, sadly, "What a waste. You're way too young to throw your life away like this." Silly me; I was worried that at 46 I might be too old for this. FML

ok he told her this for two reasons she is going to have a baby and wants her to know so she can tell the child or for the pain meds she is planing on getting through labor

As a mom who has given birth 'the natural way', without any pain medication, I can promiss it can definitely be done and isn't as terrible as you might expect. I only found the actual delivery painful, but labour to me was a piece of cake (all 60+ hours of it!). I hope for your sake that you can benefit from an epidural, but if you can't: don't panic! It's really not all that bad ;-)

137- Chocolate is bad for you, but it's still approved. Energy drinks are bad (HORRIBLE) for you, but are still approved. McDonalds is bad for you, but is still approved. Do you get my point now? Just because something isn't the best for someone doesn't mean it won't be approved.

You'll be fine. Just use natural childbirth methods like breathing and walking around during labor.

I thought breathing was a natural method to stay alive. I'm sure it'd be required during childbirth as well. But indeed, you could definitely survive it without pain medication.
