Hi Carla,

I had a natural birth with Nicholas. I was determined not to have any drugs as I didn't want it going to Nicholas in anyway and I had heard of some bad experiences with epidurals. Although I did have the gas and the doctor had to cut me so I didn't tear. I mean it was slightly painful but not unbearable IYKWIM. I was in labor from Friday morning and had Nicholas on the Saturday at 5.30pm.

Honelsty I was more scared of peeing or using my bowels more than anything (sorry TMI :-# )

If you can do it without any complications and the doctor says it is fine then go for it.
