I had 3 of my four without any drugs. My first one was a 36 hour labor. Now I wish I had had the epi. At the time I thought I was doing what was best for myself and my daughter. If I had it to do over again, I know the epi would've kept me from throwing up and screaming more cuss words than I thought I knew.

My second labor lasted 8 hours and my third, because I was having twins, was only 4 hours. One twin was born naturally and the other was C-section.

Do what you think is best. No one can tell you how to have your son and no matter what you decide, it's the best thing for you.
