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 didn’t want epidural too initially. But I ended up taking it. 3cm and I couldn’t take the pain anymore. I dilated very very slowly. 4-5 hours and only 3cm. Epidural was a real life saver for me. The doctors and nurses encouraged me to get the epidural. They say it’s better to save my energy for the pushing instead of enduring the pain. Do your best mummy! If it’s really painful, don’t be afraid to ask for epidural or other methods. Whatever you choose, I’m sure u will do great!
