[scooper22216]

I'm 29 weeks and I've been thinking about my due and when my little girl is going to be born and I'm really nervous about getting an epidural and I'm just wondering what I should expect. I'm planning to get one because I'm not very good with pain but I'm also not a needle person and I'm so nervous and kind of scared about that part and I was wondering if yall could tell me your stories about what yall went through and what it was like? I would really appreciate it! Thank you so much and God bless you all

I'm so excited for my little girl to get here and I almost have 10 weeks to go!  Congratulations to all of you on your pregnancies!

I was also worried about moving once the needle touched my back , but I didn't. It's a mind thing. It didn't hurt. And when it wore off I did have a little back pain but it went away. It wasn't a bad experience for me. You just have to have a strong mind and think positive and it will all turn out better than you expect it to be. Good luck!

I felt nothing but a bit of pressure during the insertion of the epidural. Many hospital use a local anesthetic to numb the area before the put the needle in. I did have to have it done twice because the first try wasn't in the right area, but it didn't bother me. I'm going natural this time, but the epidural wasn't bad.

Definetly didnt hurt at all. They usually five it to you during a contaction. (contractions hurt like hell) so you dnt even feel it. Youre to busy crying about the contraction that you dnt evn care if someone puting a needle into you. Just follow directions dnt move and you will be fine. :)

Getting the epidermal was cake lol worst part for me was after it was it with the bruising but it didn't hurt at all the contractions hurt worse so you won't even feel it lol

Thank you so much for telling me! That helps so much! I'm afraid I'm going to move when they do it because I've been told if you do that it could make you paralyzed but yiur story makes me feel alot better because if it's different for everyone this it may not be as bad as I think it is.im going to be praying about it for sure! Thanks so much again! God bless you and your family!

Its dif for everyone. I didn't have a bad experience when they put the needle in it was afterward when my hip started hurting cause they were supposed to get me to turn over to the other side after a little while and didn't. A lot of people say it hurts to get an epidural, but getting the epidural wasn't what hurt me. Im going to try natural this time, I've heard its better cause you can get up and move afterwards and don't feel bad. The epidural does make your back hurt too when it wares off.
