I'm going all natural here. No drugs nothing. First time mom here and I hope all goes well but I can take pain. And yes I also heard about the risks if you get an epidural. I heard doctors can miss sometimes putting the needle in and since it's in your back it's think it can do damage to your back if they miss. Also back problems later in life..
