I really think I want to try and give birth without an epidural. Call me crazy, but I just really like the idea of doing something my body was made for, without medicine.
I also like the freedom of being able to get up and walk around during labor.
I'm thinking I'd rather tear than have an episiotomy, but I know there's always a risk I might absolutely need one. I read that they numb the area, but, I can't imagine having some put scissors to my v****a, without an epidural! OUCH.
Someone clue me in. Can you feel it? Do they numb it enough?
