there is a thread right below this one called epidural vs non epidural, its pretty much the same as your ? check it out

I had my daughter almost 8 years ago and I had an epidural....this time around I'm not going to have one. :o)

Had first baby with epidural and Will also have this one with epidural too much pain for me... I must have a low pain tolerance lol lol ....epidural was wonderful

epidural here :)

With my first almost 8 yrs ago no epi and with my 2nd 2yrs ago no epi and this one in 6 days no epi. Pains gone as soon as the baby comes. Thats one thing that gets me through it.

epidural all the way !!

Epidural =)

Epidural

First two, no epidural and was fine. Third one had a spinal (kind of like epi but one time injection).

No epidural for me when i had my daughter.. .

epidural 1st time, trying to go w/out this time around...

EPIDURAL!!:) i'd die without one:|

Had epidural with my first - a long and exhausting induced labour, but not with my second - easy 4 hours. Will only have one this time if labour is anything like my first - which I doubt.

I was induced and had epi with #1. I was induced at 5 am and delivered at 7:45pm. With #2 I had the epi and then it wore off and would not kick back in at around the last hour of labor. I went from a 6 to a 10 in that hour. Yes it was painful but I like the fact that I could feel what I was pushing for. It only took about 10ish minutes to deliver from when I started pushing. I liked it so much better. If I were to have another child I would go with no epi

I had no epi with first 2. Labors were quick and I was in control. Third I was induced labor was longer. I had to get an epi to relax. It worked 30 minutes later I was pushing. I was not able to walk for 2 hours after the delivery due to numbness in my leg. Otherwise no side effects. I am planning on being induced this time again and am open to the idea of an epidural.

Had 2 babies and no epidural. Too many other things to focus on after the baby without having to worry about vomiting and urine retention. Was happy, happy I could make it without. You can do it too! Good Luck
