Con-Back pain later from the epidural. Pros-If you need an emergency c-section it really helps. I held off on any pain management until it was now or never. I wanted to have some idea of what was going on. In the end it is up to you. And your not going to remember the pain or lack of pain your going to have your baby and none of the other stuff is going to matter.

But I also know people who got drugs, epidurals, etc and loves their births. There is more of a risk whenever you have any drugs or epidurals, but the likelihood of anything serious is slim.

These are the worst.
Convulsions
Respiratory paralysis
Cardiac arrest
Allergic shock
Nerve injury
Epidural abscess

BUT lets say you do get one and your fine. you dont have to experience the mind numbing pain of contractions. you get to rest more often so that you have more energy to push. if you have to get a c section you are already prepped with an iv so that helps move things along alittle faster. as for child birth. the top con would be the pain. but for some that could be a pro too. you also have a chance of tearing. but with natural child birth you heal ALOT quicker then you would with a c section.... yeah. there are also other drugs that you an use as well. i suggest you go take a lamaze class and they will give you sooo much information on it!!! good luck. they are both risky in my opinion. i mean, with and epidural you wont be able to get out of bed and walk around. you dont get to experience what it feels like to have your child. there is a small possibility that it can later lead to back problems and even leave you crippled.
