Labor has to be one of the only times I would willingly sit through someone shoving a needle in my back more than once. The needle freaks a lot of people out but let me tell you there's no sweeter sight than seeing it on the middle of hard core contractions and knowing relief is coming soon
I lovedddd my epidural. I didn't feel hardly anything (probably because the contractions were so bad.) I'm not affairs, or bothered by needles though. I told my husband I was epidurals at home! Haha
