Does anyone know if when I go into labor, instead of getting the epidural, and get pain meds...if the pain became unbearable for me could I get the epidural after I've gotten the pain meds if I'm in to much pain??

your welcome @xaviermom1221
you can research it, I honestly don't know if there is a difference. personally I don't think there is but I'm not sure
So is this walking epidural different than the real one? Omg this sounds perfect. If I can walk around I think it'll take a lot of anxiety off my chest. @txkitten83
You can get the walking epi. It takes a lot of the edge off but you are still able to walk with it, good thing about that one when it's time to push you will be able to feel what your doing and that helps a lot @xaviermom1221
Well, now that I've read a little I want the epidural if it comes down to it... I know it will. Butttt I have anxiety and panic attacks. They get really really really bad, I'm so scared to have a panic attack after getting the epidural because I can't feel my lower half... I just want to be in enough pain to not have time to be scared 😭👎🏽😨 @miranda4 @thehowtohippie @arians_mommy @monilovesautumn @alyen2 @txkitten83
I made it to 9cm with baby #2 and the nurse said we were preparing to push, I said please give me something to ease the pain, I don't even remember what it was called lol but it just made me feel drunk and did nothing for the pain so I insisted on the epi before I started pushing and they gave it to me, all it did was take the edge off but man that was amazing after 6 hours of labor. He was my biggest baby at 9lbs (Thank God I got something for the pain lol) I think it depends on your hospital and drs, ask your Dr when you see them next tell them you want to try but just not sure @xaviermom1221
Yes I got pain meds and they weren't helping enough so I got the epidural afterwards.
after 7 cm they won't let you get it because the meds have to kick in. so if you go in at 4 cm and get pain meds and haven't dilated after hours and you want get an epidural you can but after that nope .
Well I got the pain meds in my iv and my body went into shock after a long time of labor I was going for a all natural birth but that didn't happen I had to get an epidural
It'll depend on the time frame you can't get an epidural after around 9cm I think if you haven't already gotten it. And you can't get it after like 20 minutes of the iv meds you have to wait till those wear off or whatever the time frame is for them. They won't mix the two by giving them to closely together
Okay cool. so I can try only getting pain meds and then get epidural if I need? @miranda4
Yes they can give you meds through your iv first
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...
Me and my princess first time getting epidural and I’m numb from legs is this normal i can’t walk good yet
So my boyfriend wants me to go natural med free birthing experience. I was down with that until I got scared and decided to get a epidural if I couldn't take the pain. He doesn't support my change to get the epidural. Did you ladies go med free or get epidurals? How was it?
can't decide if I want an epidural or pain meds.
Any first time mom's that already had their baby? Did you get an epidural or go natural? I don't want an epidural but if the pain is too much for me I feel like ima have to but I prefer to do it without the epidural.
I got some pain meds in my IV before getting the epidural. It wore of like 20 mins later and I couldn't get another dose for an hour. I got my epi right when my hour was up.
