Deff have back problems now do to the failed epidural. Never will i try to get an epidural again.
And excuse how nasty that picture looks i had gave birth the day before that. Lol
I will never try again! All natural wasnt as bad now that i look back on it! @kattastrophe
that's why I didn't get the epidural! all the horror stories, no thank you!.... I hope it starts feeling better at some point!
my sister has the same issue that's why she never opted for the epidural the last child she had . she needed an epidural and they couldn't find her spine and kept stabbing her with the needle
it's deff painful Goodluck! wait alittle more and then maybe call and ask a doctor how to go from there
I have a crooked spine so he kept hitting it for over an hour trying to get it to work. The most scariest unbearable pain ever when somebody keeps hitting your spine so you cant help but jerk thinking imma get paralyzed. But now it hurts to where i dont wanna move sometimes. It hurt all night last night so i woke my SO up to rub it😂😂😅 @mrsmord

Me and my princess first time getting epidural and I’m numb from legs is this normal i can’t walk good yet

Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?

!!!!LABOR STORY!!!!
Saturday at 1AM, lost my mucus plug/bloody show, and I was freaking out! A couple of hours later I had cramping, but felt like BH just a little stronger. They came and went, but felt stronger with each hour. Didn't sleep that whole night! I called the midwife at my hospital and told her I lost it and was having really bad cramping and she told me I was fine and was prob just having BH contractions.
The next day I was having what I thought were strong BH contractions every 10-...

Got to the hospital at 4 am to start my pitocin, well.. I was put on the drip at 430 am , and was 4cm dilated and 80 percent effaced, an hour later. The nurse came in to check me, hours later, and I was at 6 cm. I got the epidural at 6cm.. But it didn't work for me, no more than 20 minutes later, I couldn't take the pain, I was screaming and crying.. And felt everything.. most terrible pain ever, I called for my nurse to come in and she checked me again, said I was ready to deliver, babys head ...
I was in labor 36 hours, and still wouldn't get the epidural if I did it over again. it wasn't too bad natural!
