Well, now that you mention it, I've probably done that too. ;)
Epidurals increase the odds that you'll need further interventions (like forceps or vacuum, or synthetic oxytocin drip) which is why some women want to avoid having one. Birth for me was nothing like having a root canal without novocaine, it wasn't painful as in 'oh my god, something is wrong, this reallllly hurts',…
