No Epidural in my country

Even more nervous and scared than I was before I found out today they don’t give you epidurals in my country. Some women told me they give you pain meds all this time I thinking it was an epidural! So silly me went around asking about these meds to basically all the women I know who has kids and they said the meds don’t even work, a lot of them said “that’s why I only have one kid” or “that’s why I’m not going again”. 😩
