Sydney, my wife, delivered both of our kids sans meds too. The first time it was by choice. Our daughter was born 5 weeks early, she was pretty small, so that wasn't too bad. Our son went full-term and was born in 1.5 hours from water break to delivery. I now understand why some babies are delivered on the side of the road, in elevators etc... Oh, yeah, the pain was more significant *cough* the second time.
