Vaginal Birth with or without Epidural

Amber
What are you ladies aiming for? I have given birth to one child with epidural and 2 vaginal with no epidural. I must say I like not getting the epidural and that's my plan for this birth. With the epidural my baby was a little drowsy, I stayed numb longer than the doctor expected which I couldn't move nor pee for awhile. Plus my lower back has been hurting since I got it. Without the epidural it was lovely and smooth sailing. Once I delivered my placenta, I was up and moving around, using the bathroom like normal..
