Epidural or natural?

I’m having a hard time thinking of what want. I always heard that en epidural was a havens drug lol but recently people have been kinda scaring me into thinking I should not get one, especially my mother-in-law. I don’t really know a lot of mothers,

let alone any of them have taken the drug. I hear good things and bad like everything else. What are you takes on it? How did the epidural go if you had taken it, were you able to walk around comfortably? Any bad side affect or was it a good experience? Do you feel like the pushing was harder or it might of Took longer? And for the women who had gone through it naturally, was the pain decently tolerable? Do you feel like the over all labor was a good pace? And last question for all my amazingly strong beautiful moms out there, how long was your birth in total? Also how long did it take most of you to leave the hospital after birth? ❤️❤️❤️❤️
