hiya katie,
i had my first baby when i was 19 and i had an epidural which in my experience was the worst thing i could have done, the drip they gave me with it made my labia (my nether regions) swell up and as a result i tore quite badly whilst giving birth i had my youngest son with just gas and air and it was a much better experience all round i was much more in control and could try different postions to try and give birth in.. he weighed 9lb 10 ozs and i didnt need stitches ..
