I was just wondering what everyone thought of epidurals?
I really want to keep my birth as natural as possible and hopefully a water birth. Problem is everytime I say this to people they laugh and say just wait till you feel the pain. It's like everyone enjoys telling you the horror stories of birth.
I'm really bad with pain and I know it's gonna be hard work and I'm not wearing rose tinted glasses about it.
I really don't like the idea of epidural and possible side affects. I've told my OH that if I end up asking for it during labour I want to be encouraged as much as possible not to have it but he doesn't seem that confident in trying to support me with it.
Can you have a good labour without going down that route?
