Prepping for Labor&delivery w/o Epidural

Erica
I'm planning to deliver without getting pain medication/epidural. It seems like most people try to talk me out of it by sharing how unbearable it is.  I want to go into labor & delivery with a positive mindset.
Can anyone share some positive feedback in  support of this?
How long was your labor?
What helped you push through?
Would you do it again?
