[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had one unmedicated and the second medicated. Much prefer medicated. Makes no sense why ppl glorify unmedicated when drugs just make it more pleasant and enjoyable overall.[/quote] There can be unpleasant side effects from the epidural. It’s not likely either choice is perfect. I had an epidural for 2 births and I didn’t like being immobile and stuck in the bed, and I didn’t like that my legs were still numb after the birth. It was a lot better than the pain, but I would rather be able to go without it (if I could withstand the pain).[/quote] +1 I love modern medicine, but (1) the thought of a needle near my spine irrationally creeped me out and (2) I HATED the idea of being stuck in bed. Being able to walk around in labor, labor in the shower, etc., was really helpful for me. I don't "glorify" unmedicated. But it was 100 percent the right choice for me. Other people have different preferences, circumstances, etc. [/quote]
