So with my first, I went natural, no pain meds at all. He was 9lbs and came out sunny side up, so I ended up pushing for 2 hours. It was absolutely exhausting, I don’t really remember the pain but obviously it sucked lol. 2 hours is such a long time to push. I’m pregnant with my second currently and I’m thinking about getting an epidural this time because I just want to relax and actually enjoy the experience since this is my last baby. But I’ve heard bad things about the long lasting effects of an epidural or things going wrong when they’re giving it to you. And I’m like well you went through hell the first time with no meds, I know I can do it again. I’m torn on what to do.

Pros and cons of both????
