Lulu, its funny you mention epidurals. When i was in prelabour with DS i was being monitored and an OB came in asked about DD's birth and i mentioned she was posterior and the first thing she said was "oh so you had a c section?" i said no and before i could go on she said "you would have had an epidural then?" and i said no again and she looked shocked and then gave me a hi 5 and said i was 'super mum' and that a lot of women opt for either.
