I had a natural birth with my daughter, I was very lucky to only have a 2 hour labour, and I hope to have a natural birth this time too. I would NEVER opt to have a c-section and would resist unless it was absolutely needed.

Like most people said, I would never go for a C-section unless doctors recommended it or it was necessary. I know a couple people who had to get one because they went in to be induced, and then they weren't making a lot of progress over the whole day so they had to do a C-section. I delivered my first, vaginally. I got an epidural, but it got messed up and hardly helped, so I'd say I delivered my first one without the pain medication. It was painful, but worth it. I don't want to be cut open, left with a scar, and taking longer to heal. I don't think I'll get an epidural with this second baby. I'll just have to stick it out. If I did it once, I can do it again!

Well lets just hope our next one is quicker like they say- it gets better each time! Please!! lol

I got an epidural. I felt a little, but not too much to where I couldn't handle it.
