Needles...

I always psych myself out when I know I need to get blood drawn. Epidural seems so scary. Do you still notice the needle from the epidural when you're in so much pain from contractions?

Okay good, cause they took 5 vials of blood from me today and while I was waiting for it I got so dizzy and weak. I just don't want that to keep me from getting an epidural if i can't handle the pain.

I agree with juliensmom ! You just don't care, labor is such a strange, long, painful experience I honestly have blurred some of it out lol. It was like a sharp pinch but you don't ever even see the needle and there will be a nurse there holding you, its really not that bad
