Does an epidural hurt?

I think the thought id more scary. For me contractions hurt way more to even notice a needle going in my back. Contractions suck!

Yea people say you don't notice the needle because your in so much pain... I'm just paranoid of needles and scared to be numb.. but I do know I will want an epidural lol I don't do pain @nicoli_e1

I was so over contractions at that point that I hardly even noticed it. I wouldnt worry about it!

I think you will stay paranoid until you're about to have the baby and begins for an epidural. Lol it also just numbs you from your belly down. It's awesome. Lol

Lol I think I'm just overthinking things @nicoli_e1 @ktkayxo

contractions hurt alot more lol

i didnt even feel my contractions and the epidural wasnt bad. The shot I had to get in my hip was worse.

I had the epidural. it is not bad at all just a pinch in lower back. but the lady that did mine messed up 2x. but I'm still getting it again
