Guest guest Posted June 21, 2001 Report Share Posted June 21, 2001 Kendall - That's an interesting perspective. I also think I have a pretty high pain threshold, that's why I think I could manage a natural birth. I also take an attitude of wait-and-see. I guess I will have to learn beforehand what the latest I can take the epi is. Also, I heard of some stories of epi complications - like paralysis on one side - and I think I would rather endure the pain than risk something like that. a > Elle, > > I hope you don't mind me adding my .02$ here, but I have done child > birth both ways (drug free and w/ drugs) and when and if I do it again > I would take the epidural over natural any day!
