Epidural..........

I had one with my daughter 5 years ago..but I am SO dreading it..it SO hurts and the way they do it oh my gosh..

really? i had one with bump, and one when i was 16 for knee surgery. it never hurt me. they numb your back first.

i didnt feel a thing, i was scared to death but it didnt hurt one bit

Now u have me scared!

I loved my epi! I didn't even really feel it. The worst part was having to stay in a tucked position during a terrible contraction without moving! that was the worst part, but soon I couldn't feel aaaannnnyyyyttthhiiinnnggg...
ahhh loved it!

Yeah, It wasn't as bad as I expected either. I mean it wasn't enjoyable by any means...The only thing I had discomfort with was afterwards....My back KILLED. Esp. if I got up real fast or something. Is that normal?

.........uhm, yeah. The needle to numb you stings but the epi doesn't hurt whatsoever.

I think both times I was so sidetracked by the contractions that even though it might have been uncomfortable, it wasn't so bad that I still remember it. I think that is God's gift to moms is the ability to forget how bad the pain is. If we all remembered the pain, we would probably only ever have kids once, lol.

My contractions were so bad the epi didnt even phase me which only worked for about 15 minutes then it just stopped i felt everything it was awful.

ALL i got from my epi w #1 4 yrs ago was RELIEF!
I went aaaaah yessss druuuuuggggggssss and LAUGHED all the way thru his birth it was nice!

I wish they had numbed my back first! I thought I was going to die when they did mine. It hurt SOOO bad, and then to top it off, the damn thing didn't work! So, I think they just did mine wrong. Especially since most people do say that their's did not hurt at all.

I didnt want one, and I didnt get one. People make it out to be so necessary. Its not. lol. If it freaks you out then look into other options!

Now I thought it did hurt. I had a c section 3 years ago, and the spinal was the worst part of it!

well wait until your contractions are so bad you cant handle them, then i promise it wont hurt at all!

When they did mine I wasnt expecting her to poke me without telling me and I jumped and scared everyone in the room lol but the stupid lady didnt even say im poking you now or take a deep breath or anything. I never jump getting shots or I have 5 piercings and never once have I jumped cause they always tell me when they are gunna stick me
