I'm no where near pregnant, but i was just thinking about this. Whats the difference between getting an epidural (which effectively paralyzes you from the waist down, you have to have a catheter, huge needle in your back, etc.) and getting traditional pain medication (only requires an IV)? Shouldn't modern medicine be able to make labor painless without having to have an epidural? I just want to know, so that when the time comes to have my own kid, i know which one to choose.
