Epidural?

Question

Who here has had an epidural? If so, what was your experience?

Answer

Had it, loved it. Didn't hurt at all!!! If it wasn't for needing a c-section this time I would do it again. The only difficult part was trying to push the right way but that's what the nurses are there for.

Answer

For me horrible! 
My back is done by the age of 16. The doc did a shit job. He stuck it into my
Hip bone then missed him took him 4 tries to get it in. 
My second the doc did an ok job but it made my back worse. 
  Since my first one I get horrible headache and migraines. I mean lay on the floor can't move can't see they can last hours. Specially rate after birth and nothing I can do as I BF  
 My first was to stron and I couldn't feel when to push and tore because of it 
So #3 is all natural I'll never do it an epidural again

Answer

Asked for it as soon as I got my first contraction lol. Ended up being emergency c but I wouldn't try to go 'natural' with the optional of having an epidural.

Answer

I had one my first baby and I didn't like it only my left side was numbed and my back hurt so bad for several days after it hurt worse than my girl parts

Answer

I had it with my first and absolutely hated it. Such a crappy experience. Rather go through the pain this time.

Answer

I had two. The last one 5 yrs ago was terrible. Lost spinal fluid. Had to get a blood tap. I'll rather go through the pain this time around. I also want to be clear/alert and conscious of my surroundings. This is my last child. Trying for a VBA2C.

Answer

Loved it! Didn't even feel it! Definitely getting it again with this one!

Answer

I really want to get some impute on this as well I'm debating

Answer

Had 1 with my daughter. I only got it because I began to get really nauseous and I couldn't handle everything combined. Didn't really any problems, I would say just speak up immediately if u feel something is off.

This time I'm going to try natural, however if I do get the epi again I will do a walking epi. That way I'm not laid up in bed for hours till it wears off.

Answer

Had it. I liked it. Ive had no bad side effects. This was 8 years ago
