epidural or no epidural.

Im 27 weeks n everyone keeps asking me about a epidural. I've heard of the negative effects after having one but i think that im more afraid of the needle. What should i do?

I'm going all natural, but I have an extremely high pain tolerance & have had issues with severe side effects from anesthesia including it not actually working-so I figure natural is the right choice for me.

EPIDURAL! Why go through extreme pain when you dont have to? Studies show it doesnt affect the baby. I had one with my first, and will def have it again!

I barely even felt the epidural. I think when they administer IV is way worse LoL! You never see the needle ;)
