This is my 6th pregnancy. 2 were miscarriages. During labor with my 3 kids, my fears were that they along with myself would survive and live healthy. But my fear has always been of the epidural placement. This pregnancy is no different. I want the epidural because I know I don't want to go through labor without it if I don't have to but I'm terrific AGAIN of them putting the epidural in my back. My back is extremely sensitive especially pain sensitive. Everytime, I think I have jerked even though I shouldn't. It's just my reflex. ANYONE have any ideas so maybe I won't jerk or feel the pain from it as much when being placed into my spine??? Please help.
