I am a total wuss when it comes to pain, and leapt at the chance of an epidural last time round (quite honestly, about 5 mins after positive test results). And in the event I was very glad I did - nightmare labour, BUT also all the stop-start elements you'd associated with an epidural (which didn't work very well anyway). I'm contemplating a home birth for my second, just to stay out of hospital; but I really don't know how effective gas and air will be. And I'm scared. 3 months to go. Any advice?
