Epidural talk

So this is my first my husbands second. Apparently with his first she had an epidural and she couldnt walk for a while so he had to carry her to do ****. I dont really care to know much about her tbh, so Im asking y'all if you know anything about it please share. Not so much the shot itself but the after effects and how long til it wares off..?

I had an epidural and could walk right after birth! My back was sore for bout a week after delivery but was completely tolerable. I'm back to normal now!

I had two epidurals with no problem.  There is a risk though.

My uncle's wife had an epidural and an emergency csection and she says she can't actually remember seeing or holding her baby when she was born

I had one and I was up walking right after giving birth! Down side is I have the worst back pain ever and it has lasted almost 2 years and has made this pregnancy a living hell! I can't do one load of laundry without barely being able to walk afterwards! Going natural this time! Never doing an epidural again!!
