It's a mental thing. With my first I got an epi because I kept thinking I can't do this forever. With my second, I knew it would be over soon and by the time I got to the point where I didn't know how much longer I could do it, it was time to push. I much preferred my natural experience:) it was amazing!

I tried but I don't think I prepared myself enough mentally, I think that's the biggest thing and to relax and let your body do its thing
