I had my daughter 4years ago and I decided to get an epidural because she was my first and I was afraid of labor pains. Well with this pregnancy, when I found out it was a boy my husband and I decided this was it. No more babies. I decided since this was my last, I would go all natural to experience everything, because I heard you're more connected/engaged in the birthing process. Long story short: I'm traumatized!! That was the worse pain I've ever felt and was also the hardest thing I've ever done in my life... I loved that I was able to complete my intended plan because I was more engaged with my son but I'm glad I'm DONE!
If you want to get the epidural GO FOR it, why experience that kind of pain if you don't have to!!!!
