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

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

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.

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. :/

@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

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!

The IV hurt worse for me then the epidural did.

@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.

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

@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.
