Today the Anesthesiologist told me I will not be able to have an epidural. My platelets are low and do not function…

Don't be nervous girl! I hope all goes well for you!✌🏽️

Personally I'm afraid of needles. I have a tattoo though🤔I know, I know... But never in a billion years would I have ever consider getting an epidural. Needless to say, I had to get one. I had to get it because it was my only choice or c section (would have still have to get the epidural either way.)

I had to get induced because I couldn't get contractions by myself at 42 weeks. The epidural hurt more than my contractions. Apart from that I was numb from my hip down. There's nothing worse than having no control of your legs. It doesn't stop there, I get really bad pulling pain, cramping, and back pain apart from my scoliosis when it's cold, I can point out exactly where They put the needle. Sometimes just walking. Trust me when I say you'll be fine without it, honestly! You can do it girl!🙌🏼

I never had an epidural a d you'll be fine momma I'm scared of that dam needles I'll take the IV meds any day you'll be cool just have a good coach in ya room to make u laugh and rub ya back my mom is always there and she helps a million cause my sons dad was a super punk in the delivery room lol

You can do it, watch the business of being born on Netflix, those women, although look like they're in excruciating pain do it and it makes you feel like you can do it too!
