When it's the right time to ask for epidural ?🤔 *PLEASE COMMENT*

Question

I really wanted to know 😩

Answer

As an anesthesia provider I'll give you this advice. Once you have an epidural you are contained to the bed and unable to get up and move around. I would suggest waiting until you are several centimeters dilated and the pain starts to get bad... you don't want to wait too late because at that point it's hard to sit still for the epidural placement and it makes it harder for everyone.

Answer

Went to a birthing class here is Aus and  this question was asked. We we're told it's never to early or late. Depends on your pain tolatance.

Answer

When I check in to the hospital, I'm going to get on that list ASAP 😂😂 so basically as soon as I'm able to get it, I want it

Answer

If they have to break your water I would recommend getting the epidural before they do that! My doctor had a hell of a time breaking my water and it was the worst!

Answer
