With my 1st child, I wanted to do a "natural" birth - but after 52 hours of labor pain, I said forget it and wanted drugs at the end!! (but didn't get the epidural!!). My 2nd child I had complications, so no epidural, LOADS of pain. My 3rd child, I asked for the epidural - what a MAJOR difference in labor. Don't know why I didn't do this in the first place.
