So I am due to give birth in the next 3 weeks and was quite adamant that I would avoid epidural unless absolutely necessary.
Then at a family gathering today, an opinionated aunt said I am being silly, if the pain reliefs there I should take it and if I resist I can become tired and the baby stressed.
I also said I was thinking of water birth to which she just laughed.
It has shaken me up a bit... any opinions?
Thanks
