I didn't have a epidural second time round and have no plans to this time.
I much preferred the non epidural labour

At my midwife unit they don't offer epidurals, but you can e transferred to the manic hospital which is just downstairs, and have one there. I think they encourage you very strongly not to have one though, as the point of the midwife unit is to try and have a more natural birth I believe.
I'm going to aim for midwife unit an hope I'm stong enough to last without an epi. It's easier in my case as the epidural is only downstairs, not a desperate location.

I think I might need one lol I loved it, if its not to long though I should be able to do without but just need to know if they would transfer me if I did want one cuz if they wont it could get quite stressful.. I forgot to ask my midwife at my last appointment and my due date is sunday so im worrying now bout what to do talk bout being unorganised
