I had one with my first and then went natural with my second and this time around in going natural again but with a nice dose of pain meds. The epidural is nice but they numbed down my right side more than my left so when I finally got up I was dragging a foot. The worst part about going natural is if you tear and they do stitches you can feel it. They numb the area but you can still feel the poking. The plus side though is that you can get up almost right away and I didn't feel as groggy as I did with the epidural.

I know I'm definitely getting it. I had it with my first and it was fine. Helped me actually enjoy seeing my son being born.
