im really tiny and afraid this labor and delivery thing may be too much for me. my husband and i have been taking the bradley method classes for natural childbirth, and they have already helped us alot, but i am still worried that it may be too painful. I want to try for natural birth because of the countless benefits, but im afraid i will freak out wen it comes time and i wont be able to have the epidural because i waited to long. Im 29 weeks now, and still nervous as hell.

anyone have suggestions or experience with natural labor ?

I’m only 16 weeks with number one right now, so I’m sure I’ll probably change my mind later but I really wanna have a natural childbirth (mostly because I’ve seen an epidural cathater being place and it completely freaked me out). I just wanna hear how everyone else’s natural birth went and if anyone has any natural pain relief remedies to share. Thanks a bunch!

I’ve posted this before but only got two answers. I’d like to know your thoughts on going medication-free vs. using the epidural. It pretty much boils down to side effects vs. pain. Which is worse? Which is better? How is it different? Serious answers only please.
