I went completely natural having my daughter last week. Almost got an epidural but my husband knew what my goal was and reminding me by talk in me through it. Telling me I was strong and could go through anything for her. He was my best medicine

Good preparation and labor support can help tons. A doula is nature's epidural lol! (No I'm not plugging myself lol I'm not certified yet, I just think doulas are awesome)

I'll be going natural. I had IV drugs with my first still felt everything I was just tired from the drugs it was horrible. So no drugs for me and since I know what it will feel like I'm prepared for the pain I was induced too so it was worse.

I'll go natural unless I need an epidural for some reason (extremely prolonged labor, c section, etc). I went natural last time and I figure I'm even better prepared this time having been through it before. I don't see the point in my using an epidural for a normal birth. (No judgement on Moms that do, that's just what I personally feel is best for me and for my baby)
