Natural birth!

Okay ladies, tell me the deal. I am having my second baby in 5-6 short months and I really want to try to go natural. I have my reasons. My first was medicated but my progress slowed down after receiving my epidural. It also took awhile to kick in so I was peak numbness after baby was already here which was disorienting and less than ideal. For those of you who experienced both medicated and unmedicated, what was your experience? Was it worth it to go without meds? Am I crazy? lol
