Whichever you think suits you or as per advice by the doctor. Mainly they would say normal birth. Epidurals are highly advised to take if you have zero pain tolerance. Meaning if you have contractions and are not dilating fast, and during this period you need an epidural you can take it. But also there will be side effects like it doesn't help you and then leading to the emergency c section (for whatever happened in labour like not progressing further despite the hours in labour). And some will have after effect of epidural like back pain especially after labour (during cold weather/standing too long/carrying baby too long). I took epidural for both pregnancy but this is due to long hours in labour for both babies. And I am not dilating, contractions also kick in fast and I have low pain tolerance level.
