Hello ladies! This is a series of questions for those who have gone through labor with or without medicine. I’m about to give birth in a matter of weeks and have been on the fence about whether or not I should have an epidural. This is my first baby, and I’m wanting to either go natural or have an epidural in case it’s more intense than I expected.

Here are my questions:

1) What was your expectation on labor pain?

2) Did you take pain medicine?

3) How would you prefer your pain management for future births?
