It was painful but going to lie but worth it, way better then contractions, I do know they say let them know when I was about to have a contraction and I never let them know cause I couldn't feel it then. But not bad, they had to do two takes cause i was so tall and the bed was high and the anesthesiologist wad short (I'm 5'8 And she was like 5'4

it doesn't hurt at all

the epidural felt like a lil pinch and it was very quick .. just focus on breathing . i

I didn't feel the epidural but I did feel the numbing shot. All they do is when u tell them u ready for the epidural when they ask u they call the person that does them and it took them 30 mins to get to my room. then the Dr found a good spot and the nurse got.in front of me and held.my hand and kept me steady and then once a contraction hit the Dr doing the epidural put the needle in my back.

I could focus on what was going on around me other than just focusing on the pain. I didn't feel A THING after I got it. I had a great connection with my mother because she was in the room with me helping me push along with my boyfriend. It was honestly awesome. I wouldn't want it any other way.

It hurts like hell getting :( but oh I loved it it made me feel amazing !! When they put it in I got this electric shock go down my leg and a sharp pain in my back. For me it only numbed me from my waist down.

awe. it made it amazing 😍 how so ??? @valerie_jean

My suggestion, get it before your contractions get too intense that way it won't be hard for you to stay still. I got the epidural when my contractions were becoming intense but they were still like 5-6 minutes apart. It took them about 15 minutes to put it in, but I also have scoliosis (curved spine) so they had to make sure they put it in correctly. It's heaven. Made my labor experience amazing 💕

I never took an epidural but my friends did and they say it feel like a pinch.. and only took seconds.

how long did it take for you @caydensmommy

Honestly it didn't hurt for me, but they told me to stay still. During contractions I had to move though

If you itch ask for Benadryl

They have a anesthesiologist come in and talk to you first about it then they have a sit still with your back curves a little feeling you're spine they go in with a little needle it hurts like hell and at least for me did and I could take several Times before they get it but after that it just numbs you from your breasts down and it feels amazing unless you itch like me
