I know a person who it only worked on half of their body. I had one and it worked on me. I know quite a few people who have had it and worked and a few who had it and it didn't work. It all depends upon the person

It didn't work with my first, I pay it works with this one. I also wonder if its from pre eclampsia? I had that too when delivering.

It didn't work for me and I just delivered my son on Saturday the 17th. I went in to labor around 9am on Friday and by noon I was already at 3cm so I was admitted,. Had epidural around 5 ish, pushed my son out at exactly 12:01 am. Worst pain of my life. I thought we were going to die. And I had a painic attack and my body went into shock. This was my 4th pregnancy, but 3rd baby, which was my Rainbow so he was totally worth it! I'm still in pain ;(

The last time the guy stuck me twice. Then it worked too well. It took awhile for the med to wear off. To be honest, they gave it so late to me I may have been able to go without it. Of course they had me pumped with stadol, but I swear when I did get it I got some instant relief, you don't know how much pain your in till your not. If that makes any sense. Lol!
