It amuses me, too, but I'm going to continue commenting on it!
Kenzie I ended up having some minor meds. She was face up instead of face down so I did about an hour of delivery room aerobics trying to make her turn. She ended up being vacuum suction so I got a local anesthetic (novacain for your va-jay-jay) for that. But she was only a 3 hour labor.
Claire, OTOH, was about 20 minutes. She was 9 pushes. In fact they gave me one hit of drugs to slow her down!
So I guess I can't say totally med-free, but really minor stuff. Back labor, though--holy CRAP! Matt's poor hand and arm were cramped for a day from rubbing my back cuz we didn't bring in the overnight back on check-in and he didn't have time to go back for it.
Like I tell all my friends: the body was MADE to give birth. Let it do it's job and stop interfering. I hate it when women schedule their epidurals as soon as they find out their pregnant.
