[quote=Anonymous]Regret is too strong of a term, but I definitely preferred my non-medicated birth. It hurt, but it wasn't unbearable until a few minutes at the end, when the baby was actually coming out, and I really liked being able to labor in different positions, move around, etc. I also liked the fact that I was able to get out of bed right away after the baby was born--they had to put her in a warming table and I was able to walk over to it and sit next to her. I'm not an especially crunchy person and I don't think medicated births are unnatural or anything. If you didn't like the feeling of the epidural, and you want to try for an unmedicated birth, then you need to stand up for that. (You also need to be committed to preparing for it.) There are valid reasons for both choices. [/quote]
