Opinions please 💜

This is my 3rd and last baby so I have been thinking hard about getting another epidural. My last two were very HORRIBLE experiences and I'm terrified of the same thing happening again. How does it feel naturally? I've also had to be cut both times and I don't wanna feel that lol. I felt the contractions before and know what they feel like. But I've heard other moms says the "ring of fire" when the baby comes out. Is that just burning of it? I want to try naturally so bad. I'm currently 26 weeks. Thanks mommas 💜💜
