If u can handle pain then do it natural. I had my first kid at 16 and couldn't handle the pain of contractions so I got an epidural. I'm on my second and plan on getting an epidural with this one too.

I STRONGLY recommend an epidural, you don't see them put the needle in, and all you really feel is a pinch then your back feels cold, and it helps a lot. (Plus it's not the only needle you're going to be getting pricked with) But it is your decision. If you feel you could handle the pain, go for it! (:

I would prefer natural birth. You recover way quicker.

For my first I went natural and with his one I will do natural as well. You can do it!

epidural. Some women find the pain beautiful... I did not. Lol. My fear of needles went out the window at that point. My second will also b with an epidural.

It is important for you to do what you feel is best. I had an all natural birth with my first when I was 18. I will be having my 2nd son in September and will do a natural birth with him as well. Although it is painful you'd be surprised with what our bodies are capable of. I didn't cry till my baby cried when he entered the world.
