Epidural or natural?

hello ladies
I'm 33 weeks with my son and would rely like an epidural this time as I had nothing with my daughter just over a year ago and the labour was 47 hours long and so painful, I am just worried as iv heard epidurals can be really bad for your back and you lose feeling in your legs for like two days, I'm not. Very lucky person so I know this would happen to me lol! Any advice/ experiences?

you did it once  naturally and lived to tell the tale. i would just wait and see labour  and delivery with your second tend to be alittle faster and easier. you may not feel the need to have it.
