natural?

I'm indecisive on epidural or natural.. My mom and my brothers mom both had natural births every time..therefore my dad thinks I to should have natural,but my fiance thinks epidural, I'm 17 and I'm not very sure on either or and my mom isnt around to give any advice,I want to wait until I know the pain but I'm afraid I'll get to dialated and then be **** out of luck, any advice??

I tried to go all natural with my son my evince is if you have a low pain tolerance  then you might want the epidural... Not to scare you but anything could happen during your labor and there's two different types as well so you have to keep that in mind i had back labor with my son  and it was agony ... Worst pain in my life but back labor for what ive heard if the worse then regular labor... I also went threw 18hour of labor and pushing to end ul having him emergency c section so i was really upset... If you can tolerate pain ide go all natural etleast give it a shot.. Its allot healthier for the baby

do what u want. its your body and ur the one who will feel the pain. its ur desicion and dont let anyone else tell u what to do.
ur young get a epidural it will be a awsome expirience for u to be pain free and be there and not be missrable amd zone out. i was on my feet like 1 hour after my son was
born.
its not as dramatic as people make it out to be

Natural birth is not that bad. I gave birth to my first two natural and it wasn't that bad besides everybody aggravating me. I know some who had an epidural and it didn't help at all. So its your choice.  Just look up some things on them. But if you do try the natural birth, take an epidural class just in xase you change your mind when labor finally hit you

You may have to wait and see, I personally think that's best.... You never know, you may be one of the ones that care bare the pain for that moment.... I'm definitely going to try natural if that's an option for me....
