Have you had a walking-epidural?

Question

Can you please share your experiences? 
My hospital offers it and I just want to see what other people have found it to be like

Answer

I had a walking epidural!  I went from extreme back labor before having the epidural to literally feeling like I could run a marathon after I got it!  I was up walking around my hospital and bouncing on my exercise ball!  It was glorious!

Answer

Following! Is it something that's long lasting like the epidural? At my hospital they have that's "like a shot" but it's inserted like the epidural but it's a one time thing, and it lasts 4-5 hours. You can still walk and move around and do everything as you were before but not long lasting. You'll feel the pressure of the contractions but they won't be painful. Is it the same thing or different??

Answer

I believe it just means they give you a lower dose of the meds. I had that for my oldest,  I was still able to feel the contractions just not painful. However I wasn't able to walk around with the epidural in the back so I think the term is a little misleading unless there's another method I'm unaware of.
