Shona, This is my second baby. Had the epidural with my first and really liked it. <g> But I was induced 4 times with her (long story), we lived 10 minutes from the hospital, and I was due in the summer. Now we live 40 minutes away in another state, I am due during snow season, and pain is not my strong point. I could get tattooed all day long, but labor? Forget it. My mil was teasing me this morning about my pain tolerance. I would rather be punched in the face than have labor pains. Weird, I know. Plus the thought of an episiotomy scares me. After dd was born, I thought I'd never get back to normal. I did though. :) My sil had the same thing happen with her 3rd, the epidural kicked in after the baby was born. Ugh!
