Thanks so much ladies!

@5thgradeteacher, yeah worst part is actually getting it freaks me out everytime im scared it wont work when they are gutting me open but jusy remember to breathe and just think of ur baby that got me threw

@lacywriter91, Missouri baptist...I had no problems the first time. I suffer from bad anxiety as it is so I know I'm just getting worked up. I will ask about the oxygen though...thanks ladies for the tips!

That's definitely a very common fear. We just have to remember that the Anesthesiologist has done tons of epidurals and knows what he (or she) is doing. Like @mamesey said, if they don't automatically give you oxygen then ask for it and it will help calm you. Make sure you voice your fears to your doctor, the nurse that's helping with the epidural, and to the anesthesiologist before they start the prep for the epidural. You'll be okay.😊

i know that for my first c section it was really hard to breathe so i just took really deep breaths it helped but oxygen is a good idea i will tell u that my second c section was way easier then the first where r u doing it i went to st johns @5thgradeteacher

If you feel that way, ask for oxygen! I could barely breathe during mine but I didn't ask for oxygen (stupid me). It would've helped a lot
