Entrepreneur Betty Kyallo went through a lot of pain while on labour during the delivery of her daughter Ivanna.

The mother of one is not ready to go through such pain again.

In an episode of 'Bun In the Oven' with Picha Clear Film, Betty said she is still tormented over her experience even though it was seven years ago.

"For me, breathing didn't help. It was crazy painful for me. There is no way to explain delivery. You go through the whole process but it's not easy," she said adding that the experience is still fresh in her mind.

Betty added;

"Will I do a natural birth again? Definitely no!I will go through the epidural way since that pain by just talking about it, I feel it is still in my mind. It is worse. To all mum out there, I wish you the best. I was a small girl and my bones were still intact."

An epidural is a procedure that injects a local anaesthetic into the space around the spinal nerves in your lower back. This anaesthetic usually blocks the pain from labour contractions and during birth very effectively. With an epidural, you can usually move and can push your baby out when you need to.

Betty also revealed she experienced postpartum depression.

"Many women go through postpartum depression, just that the difference is the degree of it. It is not mentally right that you can go through the birth process and just be okay. There is a degree of shock and I also went through it," she said.

"I was happy but at the same time, it took me a few days to get acquainted with her like, she is here. It was a gradual welcome to this world."

Ivanna is seven years old now.

"She is almost my height. She could have an attitude at me and she is also becoming independent but I look at her and say if she knew what she put me through? I am so happy that I went through it the natural way, I know some women wish to go through the same thing but because of health issues, they can't."
