ladies considering the epidural

Katlin
Ladies please use caution when getting the epidural. I've had 3 children and with all of them I had the epidural. My first two kids it was a breeze. I don't have any health problems and nothing was really wrong during my pregnancy. On march 2 2017 I went in to have my son. Of course I got the epidural because it was so amazing the last two times! Well it went bad fast! Before all the medicine was even in I started fainting! My blood pressure completely bottomed out and my heart rate sky rocketed! They had to give me five doses of medicine just to stablize my blood pressure, but the medicine they had to use (life or death at this point) caused my heart rate to go even higher! I begged the doctor to please save my baby if they couldn't save me! He told me he was going everything he could for both of us! Finally I dilated to ten, with my heart rate at 150-160 still, I delivered my son in 3 minutes and my heart rate went down! But it doesn't end there, the sweet moment of meeting my son ended upbruptley I started to hemmorage. If it wasn't for my amazing doctors I wouldn't be here today! Ladies I'm not saying don't get the epidural I'm just saying use caution! Hope you all have a healthy and happy delivery
