to the mommies that already had their babies.. I'm considering not getting an epidural but I'm scared in won't be able…

Lol

Lol I've never had it

I hate the needle Lol @mickeyandminniemouse

@sophiasmommy2016, well honestly it's really really deathly painful... you gotta have a strong mindset to know that you don't want the epi.. So if you can do it then I recommend not getting it. But that's just me. Alot of people love the needle

i got it and i havent got any back pain until now its been 10 months but idk i would just go and deal with the pain if i were you i wouldnt want to mess up my back more

@babychloe, I'm so set on not getting one and I don't want to be all drozzy and out of it I want to be able to be in control over what I do

so u recommend not getting one @mickeyandminniemouse

For me I loved not having the epidural for a few reasons.. I could get up and walk around through contractions.. I could bounce on a ball.. I wasn't restricted to my bed. I know of so many people that now have permanent back pain from the epidural and I just don't wanna live the rest of my life with that. I could also have more control over my own body without the epi. I could tell exactly when I needed to push and how hard and where to direct all my pressure at. Doctors didn't have to tell me when to push. I would do it on my own. And afterwards I didn't have to stay in bed. I could get up

im not really sure what the risks are. i had one and it was amazing. i couldnt feel anything. but since you have back problems idk how its gonna be for you.. after i had it and when they took it out i felt some pain in the area. like when i would get out of bed. sometimes i still do. but its not terrible. and again idk how itll affect you. but i think you can do it. juat be strong. breath through the contractions. remind yourself that itll be over soon and youre gonna be holding your baby and thats all that matters.cause once youve got that baby in your arms you forget everything else.

@babychloe,

I don't want to get one but me and pain really don't mix well and I told my husband that he needs to make sure I don't get it unless I need a c section but what are the risks

just keep telling yourself that the pain wont last forever. im not gonna lie it sucks. the pain sometimes feels unbearable but it will be over. i wish i didnt get one bc she came out 30 mins later and i could have lasted. just make sure you have a strong support and that you are 100% positive that that is what you want.
