The contractions were sooo bad I couldn’t take it. I gave in and got the epidural and I do not regret it oneee bittttt. They broke my water too. I made it to 7cm and 90% effaced without it so I’m proud!! If you’re on the fence about the epidural I say get it. It’s so worth it. I was screaming in pain from contractions (my pitocin was up to a 3) and I was also terrified of the needle itself but omg once I felt the relief it was amazing. I will update again soon!!! ps: my butthole has felt weird and tingly the whole time I’ve had the epidural 😂

Also feeling kinda nauseous right now but I got some ice chips so maybe that’ll help
