[quote=Anonymous]I’ve done both. Got the epidural with my second because I had to be induced and the contractions were insane… like so much worse than my non-induced labor, the pain was indescribable. That being said, I was at 9 cm when I got the epi and didn’t push for that long…. So I probably could have done it without the epidural? But I’m still glad I got it, I could relax and could still push in different positions. The pain without the epi was honestly traumatizing. If I were you, I’d go in with an open mind. You don’t get a prize for going med free. Epidurals are extremely safe and complications are rare. I was totally afraid of needles and complications, but all of that went out the window with the pain I was in haha! And the relief was almost immediate, I literally cried I was so happy. [/quote]
