I was scared to get it to the point to where I was crying wanting my boyfriend but once they started doing it all I felt was pressure after they numbed it

I hated mine so bad, I had natural labor the next time! He had to do mine twice and it still wasn't working so he wiggled it around for a while. It was awful and he only ever got it to work on half of my body which was so distracting and uncomfortable, by the time the worst of the pain of labor arrived, it had stopped working altogether. The epidural to me was more stressful than the pain of labor. My natural labor was so much less stress and more enjoyable, even with the pain. Lol.

I used to be petrified of needles and I work in the medical field, I didn't mind other people getting the needles but def didn't freaked out when I had to get a shot or give blood, I got an epidural and honestly just don't think about it focus on little baby and those contractions... And you don't even notice it. At least I didn't

thanks everyone I'm just so scared of needles lol I have yet to overcome this fear !

Not really. But of course it's different for everyone. If you want/need it, you'll take the bare the pain. It's a quick pain

It hurt me. Mines was put in wrong so she had to do it twice. I have back problems till this very day and that was 2 years ago. I am trying to go natural this time if I can @ty033116

Not at all to me. They numb the area first.

I didnt even feel it by the time he did it. It was nothing compared to the contractions I was having haha.

not as bad as any other part of giving birth
