Epidural or No? Let's Talk

Whitney
Hello ladies
   I know we have months to go but of course I can't stop thinking ahead 😂😂😂. This is my first pregnancy so EVERYTHING is new to me. One of the things I've been thinking about is epidural. I'm against using any medication unless I really have to. I've never given birth so I've never experienced  the pain 😖 but the horror stories I've heard from those who had an epidural have me on the fence on whether to get it or not? 
What are your thoughts?
