Where I live, there are three options: C section, epidural or natural birth. No other pain relief is available, not gas and air, no other pain killers, nothing.
This is my first baby and I have no idea how the pain will be. I could say I have a high pain threshold (I never take pain killers in any situation) but obviously that is pretty meaningless when it comes to labour.
It's so hard to know what to do. I can't decide if I should just take the epidural or if I should try for a natural birth.
Does anyone have any advice either way?
