Last minute - maybe changing my mind about epidural

Kelley • Pregnant with Baby #3! Due October 2021 🍁🍂☺️

I had an epidural with my first and it was a great experience. No issues whatsoever. I’m getting induced on Thursday, and I have planned to get an epidural again. For the last few days, however, I’ve been considering going without. I don’t really know why other than to show myself (and really only myself) that I can do it and/or to have the perspective of both ways. I am not philosophically opposed to it nor do I feel it makes me weak, etc. Just, curious.

So, I’m wondering if any mamas have gone all natural for a vaginal birth without all the typical preparation of breathing practices, hypnoborthing, etc. And/or if anyone changed her mind last minute? Thoughts?
