Curious if this is a new thing or just my hospital, when i had my first baby i asked for the epidural and they attempted but it was too late i was already 10 cm, second baby when i was in labour i told them i wanted the epidural asap and they told me that they will only give it to me as a last resort and will try other forms of pain relief first.. in the end i went natural but i found it weird i couldnt get it.. anyone else experience this? Side note: probably the most terryfing tramutizing thing ive heard "your progressing to fast for pain medication anyways, your going natural" lol this was me ...

Im pretty sure mentally i left the hospital after that and my body went on autopilot lolol
