Labour & Epidural

First time mom here. How do you deal with the thoughts of labor? I have been reading, watching birth vlogs - not sure if I will every be ready? Can you share with me your labor stories? My husband do not want me to take epidural if possible and go all natural. But i'm not sure how is the pain going to be like.

I have high tolerance of pain but the labour was really long. Took almost 1.5day to deliver after I was induced. Epidural only lasts me for about 4-5hrs of effectiveness. The rest of the time I was on laughing gas. My side effects were fever, vomiting and dizziness straight after labour.
