DOES THE EPIDURAL HURT!? Some say they can't even feel it, some say its like getting a simple flu…

@tomoiee95, For me, there wasn't pain, just pressure. I was in so much pain from the contractions I was having (while being bent over on the bed which make them 10x more intense) that I hardly felt them stick me with it.

okay thank you that helps me not worry so much haha@theinkedmommy

@tomoiee95, You will feel pressure though. My pain tolerance is literally shit & I handled it with no problem. Once I started to go numb I felt like I was invincible. I didn't feel them checking me or anything. I didn't even feel my daughter come out or me being stitched. I had to get 2 stitches.

The IV hurt worse for me then the epidural did.

I didn't even feel mine. The pain from my contractions masked whatever pain it would give . But my epidural didn't even work , I felt EVERYTHING!

@tomoiee95, @theinkedmommy exaclty the same with me it'd kinda like the needle doesn't hurt but there's a burning sensation going down ya back well for me that's what I felt but it is so worth it

for me it was just pressure, but it failed, and the contractions, birth, tearing all definitely hurt. and now I'm having side effects a month later from something that didn't even work at the time. :/

if u tell them u ha e low tolerance to pain they will numb everything before they give u stuff. like they numbed my hand before they gave me ivs and they numbed my back before they stuck epidural in.

that's awesome! definitely going to ask about that. I'm a little baby when it comes to pain haha @mommylife2three
