With my first I was 8 cm, and felt welcomed relief. With my second I was like 4 or 5, just had my water broken and was traumatized from one and got it. With three, I was 6 cm for a month, got the epi, and then had my water broken. So thankful as I could feel the squeeze of the contractions. I'm thinking of getting another this time, but natural birth doesn't seem as bad right now either.

I could feel my third come out but had no pain. He weighed 2.5 pounds more than my second.

Mine was awesome! It took away 99.5% of the pain, but I could still feel the contractions, they just didn't hurt at all. It helped me to relax and really enjoy my labor. I was joking with the nurses and DH all the way until pushing got really serious.

So lucky! Thats what I thought it would be like for me! Boy was I wrong lol. I'm going to try a different form of pain management next time since it didnt work too well the first time..

Baby #1 was great. I didn't feel nothing and it was fast and easy. I'll see how it goes with baby #2
