@ginnalynn, you don't sound rude at all!!! I'm pretty straightforward and almost never sugar coat my responses - so often it's me that comes off being rude. I don't do it intentionally...just the Aussie in me 😁
@goddess_santana, @theinkedmommy it's definitely 10000000000000% better than contractions. And it's only brief pain compared to what could be much much much longer. I have gotten it three times, twice for my children and once for another surgery. So, while I didn't want you to think it was a cake walk, it's better than labour 😘
omgggg nooooo @theinkedmommy thats not going in me you shouldnt have showed me now I refuseee @phinnybinz dang that sucks guess ive made my decision
@phinnybinz, I know they can't numb the whole back all the way to your spinal column but they did numb the skin of all the people I've ever watched get one done. don't know how to make that sound not so rude, but I'm definitely not meaning to come off as rude. just don't know another way to reword it lol
@ginnalynn, they can't numb very much because you've got to be able to feel where it is in order to assist the anaesthetist in making sure it's centred.
Not to make things worse but getting the epidural (for me) sucked. I have an extremely high tolerance for pain but, bending over, contracting, and getting the needle slowly in-between vertebrae and centred is not fun and definitely not pain free.
the epidural is about the size of a porkupine needle. it's huge. Ut I'll be honest..I'm a HUGE baby when it comes to pain and I didn't feel it at all. and it made everything so much more comfortable!
from what I've heard from my step sister who has had an epidural both times she's been in labor, the contractions are so uncomfortable that the epidural is literally nothing. she swears that she didn't feel anything because she had been in so much pain before getting it. they numb you before sticking the needle in anyways, at least all the times I've watched them they do @goddess_santana
@bellasmommy516, @ginnalynn @theinkedmommy well omm it scared me cause im not sure if I want it or not and me and needles dont get along.....
probably best not to even think about it lol but I've heard its a pretty big needle...
I rather have a needle than contractions 😂😂😂 and I don't like needles . but I didn't see the epidural go in me . my husband did and his face expression was funny
