I had one with DS1 and I wouldn't have one again. Don't get me wrong, there was no pain, but it was still awful. It led to me needing forceps and therefore an episotomy. It meant I had to have a catheter in for 24 hours which gives you a risk of UTI and is awful, and it made me feel awful afterwards. Now that I have birthed without one and know how much better the birth goes and how much better you feel afterwards, I'd never consider one again.

I suggest reading up about birth - New Active Birth is my favourite book on this topic - and prepare for a drug free birth. This is likely to get you the best outcome. GL.
