i was in your shoes once. I was very scared when I went to labor and when it came time to push because it was my first baby but when it came to it I was fine. it came naturally. and you go as far as you can and if you need the epidural then try to get it. there's no shame. 😊

Ok. @firstbaby_girl I'll be 27 weeks Tuesday but honestly delivery is the only thing I'm scared about. I wanna do natural but I don't think I can handle the pain

I think I was at a 5

how many cm were you when you got it @firstbaby_girl

they take some blood first I guess to see what reaction you might get. then if it's all fine they have you lean forwards even if you're having a contraction. you have to stay as still as possible so they iv doesn't move. I only felt a little pinch and once they put it in that fluid worked right away for me. with some women it wears off quick because contractions are too close to keep it working. this was my experience with an epidural

you will do fine I was like that with my first and I'm having my second baby I'm just worried and hoping I can push my son cause he gonna have a big head lol but yes it's normal too be nervous@kartersmom

I'm just nervous @jenkobe8348 @love499

yup everything was good and I didn't feel nothing @kartersmom

It's not that bad...

So when you had it everything was ok? @love499 did you feel anything

yeah it is just try too take it they will ask u if u ready before they put it in that's a good thing about that @kartersmom

Sheesh that's scary @love499

u do its just at the time u need too take that pain from the contraction cause if u flinch u can make them hit a nerve

@love499,

I heard you had to be really still how do they know when to do it to where you won't have a contraction

its like a ivy going in your spine they make you sit up put a pillow in front you bend over and they put it in and u get this thing to press down on it too numb the pain
