Epidural experiences??

Question

Also give me some of your experiences below please! Thanks so much!

Answer

I had a wonderful experience. I thought it was gonna hurt like a mother but honestly my IV going in hurt more 🤷‍♀️ and I’m so glad I got it. It was nice for me to be able to concentrate on pushing hard without the pain. The weirdest thing though was trying to sleep on my side after I got it and not being able to lift my legs at all lol

Answer

There was nothing wrong with getting it, didn’t really feel anything. The problem was that it didn’t work for me. I didn’t even know that could happen!

Answer

I’m so scared. I have to get one with my c section today and I have scoliosis

Answer

First pregnancy it was amazing. The dr was a pro and I didn’t feel anything. The second the dr was new and he didn’t really know what he was doing and it hurt like a bitch. But not nearly as bad as I was expecting it to hurt if it was fucked up. 
In the end they both worked and lasted the whole labor which was great.

Answer

First pregnancy was great ... only bcuz I didn’t feel a thing. Bad bcuz I couldn’t tell if I was pushing that morning and bcuz it messed up my back. Second pregnancy, perfect didn’t feel a thing AND birth was quick! Third, no epidural (not by choice) I was already a 9 cm when admitted ... but it turned out great bcuz pushing didn’t even hurt .. me trying to hold my push in was the issue lol

Answer

Mine had a button to push in case I started to feel more pain🙃 I pushed it twice😩 didn’t feel a damn thing. It was marvelous. Nurse looked at my contraction chart and was like “you’re not feeling those, these peaks are through the roof!”

Answer

I had a great experience with mine! I have scoliosis so I was really terrified of them hitting my spine but the guy who did it was great. I didnt hardly feel it going in and I was having contractions the whole time. Once I got it I was so calm and happy and couldn't feel anything except some tightening on my upper stomach. It started to wear off so they gave me a 2nd dose and about 30 mins after that it was time to push and I couldn't feel a thing! The dr had to watch my contraction monitor to tell me when to push. While im so glad i couldn't feel any of that it was also hard to tell if I was pushing in the right spot and making any progress but that was the worst part about it!

Answer

I have scoliosis and lower lumbar pain prior to pregnancy.. after the epidural i started getting nerve damage in both my feet but left is sooo messed up and back pain worsened: I literally cannot stand on my feet for more than 15 mins

Answer

First pregnancy it was wonderful quick and painless. Second pregnancy horrible and painful. Made me cry. I felt him take it out put it back it then again out and in. I felt the pain for from my back to hip to legs. After birth I felt so bruised which I was and so sore. It hurt to move around the first week.

Answer

First child it was perfect. Second child, doctor screwed it up bad. This is my 3rd pregnancy and don’t plan to get it unless I absolutely need it. Last time was too traumatic for me.
