Did your hospital PUSH you to have an epidural? Because I want to TRY to have a drug-free and natural birth, but of course I am not ashamed to give in to medication if I really need it, or to have a c-section if there are complications.
But I went to a birthing class at my hospital and when the nurse was describing the birth process she added the epidural in like it was necessary. My partner and I started asking questions about going natural, but she just laughed it off and said EVERYONE had epidurals nowadays (although she admitted that pushing time was generally much shorter with natural birth than with an epidural).
Did your doctor or hospital try to push you towards an epidural, even though you said you wanted to try it naturally? And how did it work out for you?
