[mommytobe9_3]

It was alittle pitch for me but it not the same for everyone.

Ull b in so much pain cuz of contractions that u won't feel it

I had it done with my first,   I always heard people say it hurts ect,, but when I got mine I didn't even feel it at all :)

Compare to contractions I took that needle like a champ... Ull b ok... I had my daughter at 18 and was so glad they invented it... Im almost twenty weeks preg with my second and im def using it again

I had one with my first child at 18. I tried to go natural but it was harder than i thought! The worst part about it is they do it while you are having a contraction. But other than that it just feels like a bee sting. It feels alot better than having a contraction every 3 minutes or so.

When they numb the area it stings a little but it's not bad at all. I had one with my first then I went all natural with my second and will definitely be getting an epidural for this baby!

I have had two of them. I have yet to see the actual needle...they will probably have you sit indian style on the bed and have you bend forward. They will clean the site and tthen put it in. It feels like a shot. The only annoying thing is they tell you NOT move until they are done. That is easier said then done when you are in the middle of a contraction. If you feel a contraction coming ask them to stop. Best of luck!

It is not bad at all. I remember the contraction pains way more then that. It actually feels kinda cool when they put the medicine thru the IV its all cold

I've had 2 epidurals it wasn't that bad them numb u first b4 putting the needle in , I think it helps but u can't really walk to much after u give birth ur whole body is numb. I kinda wanna try natural this time
