Epidural II........

I made a topic awhile back about fearing the epidural b/c it hurt when I had my little girl..anyways some ppl posted that it hurt and some posted that it didnt..I wonder why I felt mine? I am really nervous I am being induced tomorrow..if I could just stop thinking about it would help but there is no way...does anyone know if there is anything I could tell the nurses or anestesiologist that would help???? any suggestions????????

You felt pain the entire time the doctor was putting the epidural in?

The numbing shot was the only thing that hurt me both times I had the epi. It stings.

i did but afterwards it was smooth sailing

Quoting *Mrs.Hamman*:“ The numbing shot was the only thing that hurt me both times I had the epi. It stings.”

That was the only "pain" I had also. Just the numbing shot in the beginning.

yes I was such in a panic while it was going on I was sweating and almost lost it maybe I was thinking about it too much...does anyone know exactly how its done they give you a shot to numb it? Ima make sure tomorrow I ask all this maybe I didnt even get a shot to numb the pain who knows?

they should have numbed you. just a quick prick and thats it.
it may have hurt but i bet you felt better when it was over

so its like supposed to be a prick like you would feel if you were getting your blood drawn or something like that?

Yes, or a small bee sting. It's just a quick numbing shot.

thats it. they numb you w/an injection. IF that is all you felt last time, it was just the numbing meds. Ofcourse you're going to feel something but, is should just be a tiny bee sting at the most.

okay I hope Ima make sure I talk to them more and get more ?'s answered..thanks guys...

some hospitals are fucked up. Just the way it goes. just explaine to your nurse that you'd like an epidural but, tell her exactly what happened last time and that you're scared.
maybe ask for a dose of Nubain to calm your nerves and help you sleep a bit.
I got a dose in mine about 5 mins before the nice epi guy came and pluged in my back 10 mins after my epi, i was numb and fast asleep. My daughters head woke up up about 15 mins before she was born.

well this is nice to know, i was intedning to not get the epi because of the pain... but i didnt know that they number u before they actually do it, so its like getting stiches? that makes me feel alot better about ossibly having to get it... but im still gunna try not to...
