[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FTM here, so this is secondhand info. My sister had an epidural with her first but went unmedicated for her second. She doesn't say much about the pain with either (she labored for a long time with her first, though), but she has said that postpartum recovery was much, much easier without the epidural. She strongly recommends against my getting one if at all possible.[/quote] This was my experience as well. I think it had to do with the fact that I could push more efficiently without the epidural (it was also my second baby, so that probably had something to do with it as well). I will talk about the pain though, it hurt like hell, but it was really quick (I got lucky and from the first contraction that i actually felt until baby being born was about 1.5 hours, but I was already in the hospital since I was supposed to be induced that morning). I felt awesome immediately after the birth, I could have walked to the PP room.[/quote]
