I have heard that this will cause you be more tense, causing you to have a longer labor and have more stress on the baby. It is her choice though, and I'm going to stand by her because even the pain medications have ill side effects.

The pain I had during my 22 hours of laboring was all worth it when I saw my baby for the first time. I suddenly forgot all the pain i felt the entire?night.

Grr...but at least at that point the whole thing was over (in less than 5 hours of labor) with my first…i wanted to be all super woman and not get one…so that’s what I did…for 17 hours of labor….

I got the epi. We were hopeful to have an intervention free pregnancy the 2nd time ... didn't happen... but when I was asked if I'd get one, I said the usually "play it by ear.". My husband, who apparently remembered the first delivery very vividly, responded... "Oh no... you need the epidural." lol. I did end up with it once again.
