Epidural or no epidural??

Rebecca
My first baby was a failed induction at 38 weeks due to preeclampsia so I ended up having a c-section. I fully intend to have a VBAC this time as long as things work out the right way. During my induction with first baby, both epidurals I had wore off and I ended up getting knocked out with pain meds in the OR bc I could feel them cutting me and doing my C-section. So this time around if I go into labor on my own I was planning on trying for no medication/epidural. I feel like I may have the same issue with an epidural the second time and also have heard that you can be more successful with a VBAC by going all naturally. Would like to hear some stories/experiences from you ladies with ha. VBAC, thanks!!
