lol. natural is actually way better on a girl's "woman bits" because you can actually feel how hard you are pushing. if you are medicated, you don't realize you are pushing too hard which then can result in hemorrhoids, larger tears, pulled muscles, popped blood vessels (even in your face)...all sorts of crazy stuff
i felt fine right after doing it naturally...got up and walked around just fine....would totally do it again. it's just the worst pain in the world when you are going through it.
