Lisa when I had my daughter I had no drugs and I was in labor for 20 hours and 3 hours of pushing. The baby's shoulder got stuck and she was not breathing when she was born thank god she was fine and she healthy and beautiful. When I get pregnant again my doctor said they in induce early so I can have a baby no bigger than 7 pounds because my pelvis is small and my next delivery (hopefully soon lol) we also be drug free. No one is sticking a needle in my back. If you have the tolerance to do it I say go for it. I also have a very high tolerance for pain. Good Luck and baby dust to you.
