If you had an epidural, did it end in a c section?

Question

Answer

Had an epidural with my daughter and it was the most pleasant experience I could've asked for. Got it when I was dialated to a 4. Took an hour for me to get to a 5 but once I was at a 5, 30 min later I was at a 10. Pushed 5 times and was holding my baby. 
I didn't know there was a button to push for more meds, nor did I need it. 
After delivering my placenta I was able to lift my legs out of the sterrups myself and was walking myself to the bathroom by 10pm (she was born at 8pm). Every experience is different, mine was very ideal and exceptional.

Answer

I've had an epidural with all 3 of my children and I will again with this baby on September. I have never had to have a c-section and all my babies were born between 4-6 hours. I'm definitely going to use an epidural again it's just nice to minimize the pain so I can enjoy all the excitement.

Answer

The only issue it caused for me was right after I got it my blood pressure dropped low and I threw up but after that it straightened out and I was fine. I was able to get up and walk after they moved me to my new room which was maybe a 30 min wait. I will be getting one this time.

Answer

Yes...but the c-section has nothing to do with the epidural! My son was already in distress, and his heart rate dropped to 20. I will be getting an epidural again!

Answer

When I was having my son everything was going fine, until I decided to get the one in the arm & after that boom his heart rate went from 160 to 20 and I had to get an emergency c-section..but everyone is different, next time I'm just going to get the epidural and not the one that goes in your arm.

Answer

I've had 3 and all babies were perfect. Helped me relax each time and dilate to deliver with in 15 min. Best idea for me and I've never had back issues from it!

Answer

Is it true baby will come out paralyzed due to the medicine

Answer

No. Everything in labor went good but I still have muscle spasms in spot that I got shot. (BTW my oldest is 7 which is the one I had an epidural with) am I against epidurals? No! It helped so much and I was really struggling during labor before hand. But it did cause lasting effects on me.
