Those who want a natural birth-

maddie&stephen

I really want to have a natural birth, but I'm scared I'm going to break down and ask for the epidural. DH and I were talking about it last night and he wanted to know what to do if I ask for an epidural since I've been pretty adamant about going natural. I guess my question is do you have a code word or phrase you plan on using if you really want the epidural and can't handle the pain? He's afraid I'll ask for it, get it and then be disappointed I got it-and I'm afraid I would regret it as well.  Any advice from mom's who've gone through this would be helpful too-thanks in advance!
