Labor Pain w/o Epidural

Meg • Baby #2 due February 2023 ❤️

I am pregnant with my second. I had planned to go natural with my first but ended up getting an epidural. My question is for those who have labored without an epidural…what was most painful? Contractions or the actual end pushing? I know what contractions feel

like (at least to some degree) but really don’t know the pain of pushing…I’m nervous I will decide to go epidural free and regret it 😬
