I wanted so badly to birth naturally... My daughter got stuck in my pelvis and I needed a C-Section. It was one of the scariest things I've ever gone through. But I AM glad that my daughter is okay and that she is here with me.
In addition, the epidural may not work, in which case you will be stuck in bed, in pain, and unable to use other positions and techniques for managing the pain, like swaying, squatting, bath or shower...
You may not feel an urge to push, so the doctor or nurse will instruct you as to when to push (called "purple pushing") This is more work, less effective, and leads to increased complications like hemmerhoids, perineal tearing, and burst blood vessels in your eyes, face and neck.

If only more people educated themselves and didn't just go with the flow of 'routine medicine.'

Also, having an epidural increases your risk of episiotomy and assisted (forceps or vaccum extraction) birth.
