Epidural. Yes or no?

At first I thought of going full natural, no epi so i can be a “real woman” going through “real original pain” of labour so that in the future, i can boast about it to my kids hoping that they will treat me better. This was what my mom told me. But i asked her if she took epi during birth, she said she did and i should consider taking too. So i guess i kind of defeated my demons (my mom). Dont worry mum, u are already facing all kinds of pain just by being pregnant and a near future mom, why put urself to more torture?
