7 days to get pregnant [hubby] [dh]

Okay, Ive already posted that DH is back in Iraq for 6 months and has 7 days to be home with us. During those seven days, we desperately want to get pregnant.

Anyone ever born w / o drugs at all? [epidural] [contractions]

I have an epidural with my first, but I did get an IV drug of a kind that helped me sleep in between my contractions (not in). I still felt everything. But has anyone here ever done any drugs at all and how difficult was that to do?
