Epidural all the way!! I had one with my first with no problems or back pain afterwards and I fully enjoyed my labor ..before I got one I was completely miserable ..and I plan in having one with this baby too ....I'd say go with what the moment tells you

I had planned on natural but now that I'm being induced I was told labor is way more painful from induction. I plan on trying my best for natural and see how it goes

Honestly I would say just go until you cannot handle the pain anymore. Try to hold off because I learned that getting an epidural can sometimes cause there to be a longer labor period.

Depends on my pain level.  So many girls say they wont until they go into labor and then they demand it lol.

I will try 10000% not to have one, but if I really cant take the pain I probably will get one if it isnt too late.. but I really dont want one
