Both my babies came so quickly that there was no time for the drugs. I wanted them bad though. But when it was all over, I got right up and and had no drugs to recover from. If I have another, I'm getting to the hospital early for the drugs! LOL I will admit that I would rather go through labor than be pregnant. Experiencing labor and delivery is an amazing thing. I can tell you right now, compared to the labor pains you probably won't even feel the needle in your spine. LOL
Another thought, I was told the reason I was able to push my kids out in like 2-3 pushes was because I could still feel my muscles down there and could use them correctly to push the baby out. My girlfriend pushed for an aganizing hour and then they had to put her on pitocin because the drugs actually slowed her labor down. So there are reasons to have no epidural. But what I would do is go in with an open mind and do whatever you need to do. Do not feel guilty to ask for drugs.
