[You Tell 'Em]

No, you're not terrible It's your birth mama I had an epi with my first, no issues with baby or myself (except for some tearing, but I had the same tearing with my second which was a homebirth). I'm planning a hospital birth this time (natural) but heck, if I'm in hard labor 10+ hours there you betcha an epi will cross my mind

The big difference for me (after birth) was with the epi, I looked/felt like a truck ran over me. With my second, once I was rehydrated I felt amazing and looked like normal.
