Did anyone have an unmedicated birth on accident?

Did anyone go into labor with intention of getting an epidural but didn’t? I’m due in 9 weeks and haven’t prepared my body at all for natural birth. I’m a healthy weight but don’t exercise too much. I’m trying to avoid an epidural but definitely not opposed to one if I can’t handle it. Just wondering if anyone went in planning on having an epidural and ended up not needing it. NOT THE ONES WHERE THE EPIDURAL DIDNT WORK. Please share your story. Were you active through your pregnancy, was it harder than you imagined? What are some tips you could share to get through labor and delivery unprepared and unmedicated.
