My wife is definitely pro-vaccine and has given birth with and without an

epidural. Labor went much faster without epidurals and her recovery was much much faster and easier for the deliveries without epidurals. She also had a bad tear for one of the deliveries with an epidural and didn't tear without an epidural. Purely anecdotal, but that was our experience.

I don't know why women need epidurals. I mean I never even considered getting an epidural. As the father of the child
