Epidural??

[xNene21]

I have a tattoo on my lower back and I want to get the epidural for pain management during birth.. Will I be able to get it even though I have the tattoo?

Good Luck!

You ladies have given me a huge relief and it's not that big its the Leo sign just big enough to see with lots if detail and its really low like right above my butt its not near the middle of my back

Yes. Because they insert it into the epidural cavity. And pull the needle out. It doesnt effect your tattoo. And your tattoo doesnt effect it. All it is is an insert of a plastic tube. And anytime you need more.. they let more flow into it.

i have a hole back tattoo and i was still aloud to get it done

Well, they put an iv in my arm, right inside my tattoo (that's filled in) so Idk. I guess it just depends on the needle?

I believe it going into a spot right below your middle back. How big is your tattoo?

[babyyr]

Omg ! I did not know this. Super scared now i have a lower back tattoo. And my due date is getting closer and closer .

You may not be able to if your tattoo is near the spot they will insert the epidural which is about a little lower than mid back.

Yes so I can prepare for an alternative for pain management if I can't

[LovingMyKidsss]

Yes

I got a lower back tattoo, but ii felt it right, they insert the epidural towards the middle/center ofyour back.
