i never got back pain. i actually have scoliosis and got a epidural. my back pain actually disappeared completely after the epidural. my son is 3 and still no pain

@bleyva10, I never got back pain. I do know they have other pain meds to! I know people who had back pain or headaches after guess depends on body and how it takes the needle?!

Taking the epidural is good when your dealing with the pain but after giving birth couple months later my back is killing me it has such bad side effects its good during the moment though lol !

When I got preggo I didn't want no epidural, when I was in labor they asked if I wanted any pain medicine or the epidural I said if needed I would ( the contraction were kicking hard ) but due to having a fast delivery we didnt even have time for no pain medication or epidural which I'm glad!! If you can resist the pain fight till the end, but don't hold on too much if you think you need it ask for it !!!

I get terrible back pains but to me it was worth it.cus with my both pregnancies my baby's rip me down there and with the epidural I didn't feel a thing until after

I have terrible back pains as well

labor is different for everyone I don't recommend the epidural as a first pain relief I have had friends who have long term problems after they had an epidural so I personally stay away from that I try to do it natural but i would ask your Dr about the different pain meds they can give u during labor so you know your options

Everybody body is different but I do get bad back pains here and there
