Is how you handle period pain any indication of pain threshold?
FTM here and I'm swinging between thinking I could probably managed without and epidural (I'm scared of needles!) and thinking I don't want to deal with that kind of pain!
Also I've heard of stories of people who manage the birth without an epidural but the have to get it anyway for stitching tears where a local and G&A wouldn't be enough. That would really annoy me thinking I should have just had epi all along!
