Will you go natural or will you have an epidural?

MWM0903

I am by no means brave enough nor strong enough to go about labor in the natural way. I will most def. be having an epidural as soon as I can get one. I know that often time epidural's slow down the birthing process but I eagerly want to be awake (not passed out bc of pain) and alert when my baby is born. My pain tolerance is VERY low and my family constantly picks on me about the doctor having to knock me out. What is your plan right now, epidural or natural?
