im almost a month pp n i got the epidural, i went shopping yesterday n walked about 5 hours. well where i got the epidural kinda got swollen n killed. also my tailbone area was on fire like i bruised it. hurt to even sit. anyone experience the swelling after getting epidural? it went down but im in a lot of pain now, dont wanna move.
Yeah, it's common, I had that problem with my 1st 2, I'm currently 5 weeks pp, but I haven't been out of the house much, but the pain will go away with time.
Yeah, I had similar issues where I had mine as well. It did get better with time, although I dont think mine was that bad past the first two weeks. It still got sore, but nothing extremely painful.
Mom's that went natural no meds , was it painful? Or painful PAINFUL ? I got an epidural last time but I wanna go no meds...

My perfect baby was born at 8 this morning. 7pounds 12 ounces 😍😍 I went 8cm with no epidural then caved and got one. So sleepy. I'll post pictures soon!
I have given birth to 3 kids without an epidural, my most recent was 16 months ago where i was induced for the first time and those pitocin contractions were HORRIBLE but i powered through. Im being induced again tomorrow night and i have been having an anxiety attack all day about it. Part of me is debating an epidural but the thought of the needle scares me. Idk im just feeling so many emotions. Those of you who got the epidural is it worth it or is it better without? I also am scared of havin...
ok thank you. @mrsschaben
