Epidural, yay or nay?

Question

Who is planning on getting one?  I cannot decide between either less pain or my curiosity to experience it naturally.

Answer

I voted no this time but its my third.  I did have the epi for my first 2 births.  I want to try it without this time.  The first time, IMO i got it too early and too much (didn't know it could be adjusted) and it was hard pushing. The 2nd time, I waited as long as i could and I was able to walk around and I think that really helped me (less pushing time).  This time I am trying water birth if possible.

Answer

I have had all natural births. I am planning a home birth this time around so it's not even an option.
