I went natural with both my boys and I plan on a natural birth this time as well

I say it depends on the labor. I would have stuck out longer for a natural but I was progressing so slowly I was exhausted and wouldn't have been able to push. I had to have a emergency c section anyways they cord was around her neck 3 times. if your not sure try to hold off on getting a epidural and if you think you need one get one that's what I did

That's your decision. A natural birth is not for everyone. And neither is an epidural. You should talk to your doctor about pain meds and episiotomy and maybe take birthing classes if possible

Natural! I loved experiencing every part of it. Labor wasn't made to be easy. You're trying to bring a child into the world. When you do it natural, you get to experience every part of it. You get to feel her come out of you and it's amazing. I did my birth when I was 18, and I am a huge sissy when it comes to pain. But somehow I made it through and it's so worth it. You look back on it and the pain doesn't even matter. With all that being said, yes, it hurts. It hurts alot at the time. But i would do it a million times again and again because it truly is amazing when you do it natural.

Epidural! If I would have done natural I probably would have died ...

It all depend on how well you can deal with pain .. If you could take the pain then go natural but if you can't get the epidural
