non medicated births?

Taylor
So I really prefer to go non medicated just to help with recovery time, being able to walk/shower after birth and to be able to breastfeed successfully. I know epidurals can kind of restrain you from certain activities during and after labor. I don't believe I am scared of contractions but I'm absolutely terrified for the episiotomy, stitching and the baby coming out of my vagina while feeling it all. How was your unmediated birth? Totally worth it or no?
