This is my second pregnancy. I didn't use epidural during my first and the main reason for that is cos I have a phobia for needles so the thought of having a needle in my spine is terrifying, more terrifying to me than the pain I felt during labour (weird, I know lol). But I was happy that as soon as the baby was out I felt perfectly fine, I was up an about within an hour. I will not be opting for epidural during this pregnancy either.

Im currently on my 4th pregnancy and have had epidural and my past 3 pregnancies its not that bad when getting it you just feel some pressure on your back the only bad thing is that your back will get messed up like when you stand alot or bend down after giving birth sometimes u get sharp back pains well it happens to me but everyone is different
