I'd like to ask for advice on epidurals. Alot of women I know say they've had back pain since they…

I got one I didn't feel the numbing shot and one they put the epidural in I couldn't feel any pain and mine lasted all through labor. I didn't have back pain really bad for the first 4 months around 7 months it wasn't as bad my son is now a year and I don't have any back pain at all in my opinion it was worth it cause I couldn't handle the pain

I got 2 of them my back never hurts

I had two epidural sand no problems. Everything comes with a risk. All I know is my contractions were so bad I couldn't go without an epidural

@wyatts_mommy_0106, @mommy3 @junebug2016 thank you for easing my mind. I've been extremely nervous about getting one when the time comes.

but let me tell u every body diff

I got it with my first, and will be getting it again. My back was sore/tender after it for a few months, about 4 months I wanna say, but now it's completely fine and I have no issues. It was completely worth it to me.

My contractions hurt so bad id rather have back pain all my life then keep feeling them lol. When they put the epidural in I didn't even really feel it just a big pressure. When I woke up the next day my back was so sore and swollen i could hardly move I had to sleep with ice on it but I'm 4 weeks post partum now and id say it feels about normal again. Still hurts sometimes but I can live with it.

I had one with both of mine no back problems here.. Well until now cause I'm pregnant again.

An Epidural isn't your only option you can talk to your doctor about other methods of pain relief during labor.

I had one after 20 hours of all natural labor, I really wanted to go all the way but they told me I needed to rest or I would be too weak and tired to push resulting in a c-section. I opted for the epidural and it went great. I had slight soreness in my back for a couple of weeks if I stretched wrong. Nothing too bad at all. It definitely helped me rest and went well.
