Congratulations! How exciting!
I do not have children but I can tell you that two of my friends (2 pregnancies each, 3 of which were w/ epidurals) both who v VERY easily did not v w/ the epidural. And we're talking non-emets that v more than anyone I know HAHA.
Sage - wow no pain meds at all!? That's awesome! It's funny, I have a friend that is taking a women's studies class and she was saying how they are learning about all the bs that those pregnancy books put in women's heads. Also talking w/ another friend who has had 3 kids we were talking about how much of what we expect affects what we experience. She was prepared but also viewed it as a natural, human, beautiful experience so while she had pain she knew it would end and the outcome would be worth it (God let me be that way when I have kids lol).
Anyhow Good Luck! Try to enjoy the experience, my Mom says she LOVED being pregnant!
