Considering a natural birth.. HELP!

Hello there, I am pregnant with my first child and am considering an all natural birth in a hospital setting... Im just a little scared.. Im not against epidurals, but I defiantly want to try it natural. I'm only 8wk6d.. So I havnt even had the chance to talk to a doctor about it..

Im scared I wont be able to "ride the wave" and im scared my support system wont be exactly what I need, because I have NO idea what I'll need!

Just wondering what worked best for the all natural mommys out there, and if they would recommend going natural. Everyone I know around me that has given birth recently, kepp saying things like "GET AN EPIDURAL!" & "why would you want to put yourself through that when it can be almost painless?" But they never did it natural or went into it with a positive attitude.. Just fear..
