Are my November moms going to get the epidural?

Question

Accepted Answer

Women have been giving birth for millennia without pain meds. 
That being said, I feel I owe it to those brave women to have the epidurals they so desperately wanted but couldn’t have.
GIMME ALL THE DRUGS! 💊

Answer

This would be my 4th with no drugs.

Answer

With my first I did and regret it. I got it too early and it wore off about 2 hours before I delivered my son. I also had bad back pains from it for weeks afterwards. This time around I plan to hold off on it for as long as I can and hopefully won't get it, but I'm keeping an open mind bc those contractions hurt like a bitch.

Answer

I am in labor right now and let me tell you, theres no way in hell i could do this without it!

Answer

I had back labor last time. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy. As soon as I had the epidural I dilated from a 4-10 in 15 minutes. The contractions were so strong and painful my body wasn’t relaxing enough and was stalling my dilation. This time I will be getting an epidural too, I wouldn’t even consider not getting one.

Answer

I have to get induced on the 15th at 39 weeks and Ive heard that makes contractions much more intense so, ideally no, but if I absolutely feel the need to then yes

Answer

My hospital doesn't offer them so I don't have a choice lol although I wish I could get one.

Answer

They’re there for a reason lol

Answer

During my first labor, I wanted to do it med-free. However, during my first cervical check, it hurt so bad that I decided that maybe the epidural wouldn't be so bad. For some reason, I'm way more sensitive down there as the pregnancy wears on. Just the doctor's hand made me scream.
