Answer

Don't want to scare you away from it, but I planned to do it all natural with my son but after 30 odd hours of labour I needed a c section which meant epidural and now almost 4 months later I do have some damage to my spine but then a lot of my friends and family have had it and they were absolutely fine

Answer

I'm 6weeks3days pregnant and I know for sure I am gonna get it! 😂💉 can't tolerate pain I am such a baby. Took me a while to tolerate sex pain (I tense too much 😏🙈) so I am sure I can't handle having a baby out of my vagina without a pain medicine aka epidural 😳

Answer

I went without for as long as I could. But, I started laboring at 2am. By 11am I was so tired that I couldn't breathe or meditate away the pain. I asked for the epidural. It hurt getting it but started working quickly. I was able to rest and when I woke up I was ready to push.
I'm pregnant again and I'm pretty sure that I'm gonna get it again. But, I'll wait as long as I can.

Answer

I had back labour and had an epidural, it eased the pain in back and legs, however meant i was still in control of contractions etc. I had back problems previous to epidural and have had no problems since

Answer

I had an epidural with no side effects or back pain.

Answer

I had back labor with my first so the epidural was a life saver. With my second I got the epidural cuz I was induced and was worried about how hard the contractions would hit but it wore off on half my body about 15 minutes before I had to push so they couldn't fix it. Going half natural wasn't that bad lol. I would suggest an epidural for anyone who has back labor it is the worst pain ever

Answer

I loved my epidural 😍 had the best experience. I'm not ever trying to go all natural I have no desire. I will have another epidural with my next.

Answer

I had an epidural and am perfectly fine. I think next time I want to go natural just for the experience and because I know my body can. I recommend natural but that's easier said than done.

Answer

I had a natural birth and wouldn't want it any other way. My body is amazing and knows just what to do. It releases hormones to deal with the discomfort. Getting an epidural can have adverse side effects.
