Epidural fears

Nicole

Hi everyone, I'm due with my first baby in October. I'm really afraid of getting an epidural! I'm not against it by any means and I will get one if I feel it's necessary, but I'm so afraid of something going wrong with it and how it'll affect me and the baby. I also hate the idea of something in my spine and getting a catheter.

Anyone have any advice or anything to help me get rid of my fears? How were your experiences with getting an epidural?
