[quote=Anonymous]I had epidurals with both of my children. The first was okay-- the birth was relatively painless, but I wasn't crazy about how the epi made me feel. But it was fine. I had a complication with the second one, and was bedridden for over a week with the spinal headaches-- the worst pain I have ever had. I have not experienced unmedicated birth, but I can pretty much guarantee I would have much rather endured the pain of childbirth than the misery I experienced due to the epi. So for folks who would say, "Why would you go unmedicated when you can have an epidural?" Well, it's still a medical procedure. There's still a risk of complication, even if small. Having a wet tap (which is what happened to me) occurs in about 1 in 100 epidurals (according to the anesthesiologist). So it's rare, but it's not THAT rare. And when you're the 1 in the 100, it pretty much sucks. [/quote]
