how bad does an epidural hurt?

Question

Can Anyone give me feed back on epidural I watched a video on it and I'm freakin out how bad it is really ?!

Answer

Lol. Hours of severe labor pains and pushing watermelon out naturally or quick needle that temporarily stings?

Answer

It feels like a pinch in your back. You get a shot that numbs the area.

Answer

I got mine done during contractions so compared to them it was nothing! Just a long scratch in your back. You have to stay completely still! X

Answer

I didn't even feel mine go it at all.

Answer

I didn't feel any pain but I swear it felt like someone was taking a chisel and hammer to my vertebrae. Once again not painful but very unpleasant. It also failed the first 3 goes, the 4th was a spinal for a csection. I had no side effects after though, no headache or backache 👍

Answer

I didn't feel a single thing, not even a prick. But I was in some tremendous pain from the contractions. And after it was pure bliss as I felt nothing at all, AT ALL! And here I am 1 year later and no problems from it whatsoever. I'll be getting one in October with this pregnancy too.

Answer

Hardly felt it at all

Answer

No pain but I felt the pressure, it took him a few tries but wasn't as scary as I expected. My husband though almost passed out watching it 😂 reason why some hospitals kick dad out during the epidural.

Answer

Not bad at all, and I had one and was in zero labor pain so I could have a preventative procedure done. I am sure that when you are in labor you will not care about that pain if there was some... mine was very minimal.

Answer

I'm freaking out about it too! I can't decide wether I want one or not. I remember 11 years ago when I was in labor with my son I didn't want one. But hours later when I'm screaming "Mom tell them I want the f**king epidural" it was too late. I'm just really nervous about it.
