Getting An Epidural?

Is It True That You Could Get Paralyzed If You Move While Getting An Epidural?? I'm So Scared About Getting Paralyzed But I Know I Won't Be Able To Take The Pain. And I Really Want To Get An Epidural. I'm 37W4D & My Fears Are Just Now Hitting Me...

Yes there are a lot of things that can go wrong with an epidural but that one is rare mostly you'll just get back aches for a long time and maybe even the rest of your life or you could get massive migraines afterwards. But that doesn't happen to everyone. And don't say you won't be able to handle the pain your body was made to give birth. Women have been giving birth naturally for thousands of years
