I didn't use drugs with my first, either (though I had them in the hospital with a midwife delivering). My first was an unplanned drug-free since she came so fast. I asked (ie: screamed) for drugs, but I was already at 10cm so couldn't have them. When all was said and done, I realized it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (easy to say after the fact, right?), so I planned not to use drugs when I had my son, and didn't, and realized it was the biggest mistake I could have main. It was a bad delivery and I was at 10cm for 2 hours before they let me push because I had to wait for him to turn his head (the worse thing someone can tell a laboring mom at the pushing stage is not to push). I think if I have the 3rd I will reconsider an epidural.
