Pushing the baby out is the grand finale, and often a very uncomfortable one. With modern medicine, women can now get epidurals or other pain aids to help the process hurt less. Some women choose to forego this option and do it the natural way. If you've ever been on the fence regarding epidurals, these informative confessions may help you make a decision.

I have two kids. First labour lasted an hour and the second lasted 3 minutes. Didn’t have time for any drugs. Now they walk, talk and fight so I need all the drugs I can get LOL!
