I think it also depends how long is your labor and what time ur r in labor. So for example I woke up at 10am on 12-Mar and when I was getting ready to sleep at 1am 13-mar, my water bag broke and only gave birth at 6pm 13-mar. So I literally will not be able to sleep for 20hrs if not for epidural. I felt like if I had a short labor especially only after a long sleep, I will be able to endure without epidural. So for me I opt for it because I’m really very tired instead of it’s very pain.
