ladies who have been through labor before, how was it and the epidural? first child and trying to learn everything lol

that is what I'm worried about

My epidural didn't work because the doctor put it in my spine too high. It was not a fun experience.

Oh gosh!

i had no problem with the epidural i actually got induced and when i got admitted i was 2cm and went from 2 to 10 in maybe less then a hour that the epidural didnt want to work until 2 mins before pushing literally lol

wow

I had an epidural with my son. Took 6 hours of slow labor to get me to do it lol. The guy who did it was more of a pain than the actual epidural. He kept yelling at me to slow my heartbeat -because I control that obviously lol- and after it was done I didn't feel jack. My nurses were concerned that I wouldn't be able to push but when it was that time, he was out in 15min lol.

I did natural birth it was painful but to be honest so worth it lol wheb I had to pish it didnt hurt at all

so epidural wasn't painful?

I loved my epidural! I suffered only two hours of HARD contractions and then I got the epidural. Labor was enjoyable & all I felt was pressure!

amazing! I deliver twins

I sat in the tub or in the shower for probably half my labor which really helped with pain and the rate of my labor. I didn't have time for an epidural but i think if my labor was longer I would have gotten one.
