In Labor!!!

My due date was March 22 but baby has shown no sign of wanting to come out so checked in at the hospital yesterday. They gave me medicine to make my cervix soft and thin but after 14 hours didn't help so they broke my water and induced me and i started to feel contractions right away and immediately got the Epidural. My contractions now are getting closer and super intense and so far i feel fine and pain free!!! I'm 6 centimeters open but baby boy is moving slow so if no progress in the next couple hours i will be induced. Any ladies had a smooth or pain free delivery after getting the epidural?

Epidural was completely a life saver for me!  I was able to push without pain and felt calm and comfortable to welcome y new baby into the world!  It made things completely so much better!!!  Good luck

Before my epidural my contracts were HORRIBLE. After the epidural I didn't feel a single contraction and I didn't feel a single thing during delivery!

But keep in mind the epidural will not 100% black out the pain during delivery it's only is used for to ease the pain but with my contractions it did help numb it alot but like i said i am feel alot more pressure which is a little uncomfortable and doctors and nurses say it only gets worst

Yess before i got the epidural my contractions intensity (pain) was about a 6-7 so i didn't want to wait any longer for the pain to get worst and after i got it i did not feel a thing im really talkative and laughing with my family to make time go by....im looking at the monitor of my contractions tensity it is way higher before i got the epidural and hardly feel a thing.. but i am starting to feel alot more pressure down there cause babys head is going more down each hour but it really is my life saver today
