No.. They numb you before they put the needle in but you're so zoned trying to get through contractions you don't even notice
it feels like a pinch. you shouldn't mind it once you feel the contractions lol. all I know is I did exactly what he said and it took a minute and a few minutes later I was pain free!
It hurt me especially when he injected the needle in, it felt like a stabbing pain and then I got an electric shock all down my right leg.
