I need people to be honest and tell me how bad birth is which an epidural

with an epi, not bad at all. Just tons of pressure.

Thank you @sarahemccormick

not bad for me since I had a bunch of drugs before I got my epi. my eoi wore off by the time I gave birth. it wasn't bad at all. I didn't even feel myself tearing. but I did feel the rring of fire.

Thank you @bsbybishop2015

Girl let me tell you ! Lol with epidural you have no control on your waist down lol you seriously can't even raise your legs because you feel like there a ton heavy lol. Plus you pass gas without even knowing lol. It's not painful at all unless your baby cuts you a little, other than that just really numbed and tons of pressure

I had the epidural. it wasn't bad at all. they did it fast. everything definitely helped with all the pain. my labor went smoothy. I just remember getting a tickling in my spine, and it caused my knees to jump. I had a very sweet nurse. she held my knees downs and my shoulders for comfort. I was scared and I will be this time around. but everything was fine then, and it will be again this time. Along with my first c-section, scary!!

The epidural saved me lol. I couldn't feel jack after they put it in and it was glorious. Went from a 4-5 to a 10 in 2 hours, pushed him out in 15. Definitely getting one this time too.

with an epidural I couldn't even tell I was still in labor. it was awesome!! :) it took me a lot longer to push baby out that way though, that was the only downside and it wasn't a big deal. Also I had played it up in my head so much that it was gonna hurt so bad that it was a nice surprise that the epidural didn't hurt nearly as bad as I had expected! :)

I had a wonderful experience with my epidural. It gave me the pain relief I needed and I was still able to feel when I needed to push and feel the pressure. I had a short labor and no side effects from the epidural!
