Natural Child Birth

I'm thinking that I might want to do natural child birth but I want to let my doctor know to have an epidural ready in case I can't handle the pain. What are the pros and cons of natural child birth and what have some of your experiences been? I'm a FTM so I've never even been through it with an epidural.

This is my 3rd, my 2nd had an epidural, and I am going to try to do it natural this time. I didn't like the lack of control and feeling. The drugs can interfere with the baby too. I will do what I need to do to keep the baby and myself healthy but I'm going to try natural. Good luck whatever you decide :)

Hey momma this is my third I'm not going to lie I'm not looking forward to labour but only because I had a bad experience with my second but first was bliss both natural. with one just gas and air and other nothing it does hurt lots but when they arrive instant pain relief so weird but the bonus is u are still able to do everything rather than waiting for feeling to return to legs
