I've decided not to because I woudl liek to be mobile during and after labour/birth, I don't want any of the chemicals to transfer to my LO.

oooh, i had one with callum and it was luvly!!! Pain gone in a flash. I had no choice mind, didnt want one but baby was in too much of a hurry and i was in so much pain. Gas and air made me sick this time, although it was all i had with nicole.

I havent had any pain after having it and none when they were putting it in my back.

But its entirely up to u. Its the strangest sensation afterwards when you cant move, weird but luvly!

Its totally your choice honey, most people would opt for one, I just want mine as natural as possible.

i dunno.. im inclined to say yes but coz its my first how will i know till i actually get there? ive spoken to ppl who have had and ppl who didnt and they all seem alright.

i dont have anything against it, other than being scared of the needle..

I would just go with the flow. You mite be really lucky and not be in too much pain.

The good thing is that you can decide after experiencing part of the pain while in the hospital. If you have time at least. In my birth plan, I've put that I want to try natural methods of pain relief first, but if I am really struggling and in a lot of pain, they can offer me one. This is my first, so I'm not sure what to expect. If I can do it without, I will, but I'm not against getting one.
