epidural???

[julzty]

whats everyones thoughts about getting an epidural i never had one with my first born dialated to fast to get one but had extreme back labour now. pregnant with my second i am finding myself going back and forth about whether to get.one or not

I want to go natural :) but i will not tell myself that im against epidural because i dont know how bad things can get. Talked it over with my dr and he agrees that going in with an idea is fine but not to feel like ive failed in some ways if i dont end up going natural. Im keeping my mind open and taking it on day at a time.

I had an epidural with my first and my labour was 6 hrs. I loved it once i got it. This time around im thinking of doing it oh naturelle! Plus if my labour is quicker i prob wont b able to. I never should have.had it the first time but they never checked me for dialation. So i got it just as i was ready to push which made that part easy.

With my first I was induced and did not have an epidural. This time I'm planning for a completely natural birth. I've never had an epidural so I can't say either way is better for me; personally I am terrified of having a needle put into my spine. That sounds way worse than a baby coming out of my vagina!

I loved my epidural. I had a wonderful experience with it and plan on doing it again this time :)

I had to get one with my daughter because if I didn't, she would have had to go to nicu. It hurt like hell. I'm hoping I won't have to get one with this baby. I didn't think the pain was top bad before the epidural, but the choice is yours. :)

I had it with my first but plan not to with this one. I mainly only have back labor. Found things my husband can do this time to ease pain. Massages n warm wet towels. Plus here lately I been dealing with pain with laughter for some reason lol pains not funny but I just laugh lol

I loved the epidural, it made labor so much more comfortable and didnt feel anything when the epidural was given.

I had the epidural with my first child. . O couldn't take the pain
So I had to take it. . I'm pregnant again and for sure I will get it again

[julzty]

did your second lil one come faster than the first? i had my first lil guy in 5 hours ( i consider myself lucky) but alot.l of people have told me the second one comes faster

The epidural was the best thing ever! I was in labor for 60 hrs (my contractions where to far apart for a long time) with my first & then when I went to the hospital I got the demeral (spelling?) which I wish I wouldn't have gotten because it made me forget parts on my delivery and then I got the epidural and felt nothing. It was amazing. With my second I went straight for the epidural & had no pain! So I would suggest it!

[paigemaree]

Honestly , my own experience . I received one and it helped a lot it started to ware off so I received more , but by the time I was 10cm and almost ready to push it completely wore off ! I felt it all . Otherwise it works

Being a first time mom, I don't know what to expect during labor or how bad contractions hurt. I'm gonna try natural but if I can't epidural it is
