To all moms, I just wanna hear your experience without using epidural!

So yes, I am gonna do my best follow my moms advice, she told me to not use an epidural unless I’ve been in labor for 10+ hours. She birthed 6 of us all without it. And I am due in January with my first baby and I just wanna know what your experience was like if you DID NOT use and epidural!

(I capitalized the did not just so people know I want to know what the experience was like without because I’m gonna try my best to follow my moms advice.)

Thank you!
