Hi, anyone went through natural delivery without taking epidural? I am not taking epidural but open to laughing gas and injection in thigh as the 2 options for pain relief. Mind to share how the contractions feel like? This is my first pregnancy and I can take mentration pain but not needle pain.

My 1st pregnancy too. I was open to epidural until I watched a video which changed my mind slightly.. When my waterbag first broke, no contractions until later on. I was given the option to take epidural but i thought to hold on slightly as i can still take the pain. Then suddenly i was preparing to push the baby out, so i ended up with no epidural.. Anyway contraction is like 5x times of menses cramp.. It depends on individual pain threshold. Whichever method does not matter so long as baby is healthy..
