Water birth, natural birth vs epidural

Amanda😁😊
Has anyone had a water birth? Or natural birth?  I'm only 9 weeks but I still would like to hear experiences and opinions on a water birth/natural especially if you've experienced a water/natural birth and given birth with an epidural. I'm just trying to explore my options. I've been hearing and reading that natural births are so much better when it comes to healing and the baby's progression.  Please comment ☺️
