Help! I'm terrified ....

I'm thrilled about having my first baby but I am so terrified about natural labor! If you are comfortable, do you mind sharing your experience having your first born? Do you still feel pain with epidural/ drugs? How bad is the pain? What do contractions feel like? Is it better to have natural or Caesarian?..... I know the end is worth it (I don't need to hear that please), I just want to know what I'm in for and how bad it really is....... Thanks!
