epi

With this baby my 2nd I don't want an epi! With my first I got one & I don't care wat anyone says they hurt the doctor had to stick me 3 times before it worked & bout a hour later I could feel the pain because the epi slipped out. My back was messed up for six months after I had my daughter I couldn't sit for more then 5 mins without needing help getting up!....epi! Scare the crapp out of me I think ill pass any natural births out there ?

Yep my third snd fourth babies were born without pain relief :). I had epis with my first two and the first one wore off before I started pushing, and the second one only numbed half, so I figured heck might as well go natural all the way. My first two labors were only four hours each so I figured it would be a breeze...well #3 took 40 hours. FORTY, lol. All pain med free. It was GREAT! My fourth was an induction at 34wks because my water broke at 32 weeks, and they said it would take several days for the induction so I agreed to an epidural..the darn thing never worked! So I popped her out a few hours later with nothing to numb and it was a wonderful delivery.

This is my first pregnancy & I am going on natural due to the things I have heard about the epidural! I heard a lot of things about it.. How bad it hurts and sometimes doesn't work. Not worth it. :)

The epidural didn't work for me, even though the anesthesiologist tried to do it twice, so I felt everything. My back hurt for a long time too, so I hated that dang epidural. I paid for it for nothing! Next time I won't even bother trying. I did it once, I can do it again. :)

I had my kids naturally and one was induced so pain was worst. I rather take pain then put a needle in my back. I'm having this one naturally too.

I had my first with out an epi and plan on this one with an epi.... I have so much back problems now I dont want anything anywhere near my back!! I had nuvane or something like that and it took the edge off the pain... honestly I was too high to remember the pain.... but the pushing was done without any medication and I plan on doing it the same way
