People doing natural births- why?

When I first got pregnant I was absolutely set on a hospital birth. I wanted an epidural, all the interventions, everything. Now, after doing lots of research and podcast listening and such, I’ve decided maybe that’s not the route I want to take. I have a lovely midwife who delivers in her free standing birth clinic, and I would love to deliver there. My only reservation is I can’t get an epidural there, and why would I put myself through birth without an epidural? I already know my body can do it, but why would I make myself? Any advice? Why are people doing no epidural? Maybe someone will give me some good insight.
