The panic is real—you've been given an epidural and despite everything, the pain is still there.
Anyone else in constant fear of birth? I have roughly 10 weeks give or take left and I’m extremely nervous about pain not feeling the epidural or the spinal tap not working right away if I have c section and I’ve heard you can feel tugging ,does that hurt? Is the epidural painful? Dreading a lot right now
Epidural or no Epidural? Background story: This is my third and last baby I am having and I had an epidural with the last two but I was thinking about not doing epidural this time. But I am indecisive! Please help!

I got a charlie horse this morning when I was waking up and started stretching my legs out. I started just trying to roll and massage the pain away and it was NOT working. I say that to say all I learned is I’ll definitely be getting that epidural 😅😩

Question(For non first time mommas): Is it true that Epidural has side effects or cause arthritis, or is this just a myth? Would it be best not to take it? And is there anyway we can prepare our body to give birth without epidural so it's not too painful? I read comments of other moms who already gave birth about the bad side of epidural, so I wanted to know more....

After 30 hours of labor and 4 hours of pushing they determined he was not only facing the wrong way but he was stuck. At first epidural was not working my whole left side felt every contraction so they did it again. Ended up having to get a c section! It was worth all the pain. My baby boy is here 8 lbs 10 oz 20 and a 1/2 inches .

So I had to crave n get the epidural, I was having back labor and my pain scale when I was 4cm felt like I was at 10cm I couldn’t even breathe. But here’s the kicker I had to get this damn epidural TWICE because the first anesthesiologist put it in wrong and only numbed half of my body and I could still EVERYTHING but now things look like it’s finally fully working
