Hello everyone! My son is 6 months old and I just found out we are expecting Baby K #2!! With my son I had the Epidural but now I suffer from severe pain in my back at the location site.. I honestly want to try to avoid it this time around. How did you ladies do with no drugs on the second time around? Or would you suggest intravenous medications rather than the spinal epidural?

Me and my princess first time getting epidural and I’m numb from legs is this normal i can’t walk good yet
Do any of you moms drink caffeine in your pregnancy? I didn’t with my first, this time around I be craving it.
Any first time mom's that already had their baby? Did you get an epidural or go natural? I don't want an epidural but if the pain is too much for me I feel like ima have to but I prefer to do it without the epidural.
Natural birth? stories/suggestions to get theu it. I'm going to have a natural birth this time around but I am a bit scared of the pain. I put no epidural on my birth plan and trying hard not to edit it LOL
So tell me about your epidural experience?? I had nubain with my son but that only made me want to go to sleep. As far as I know the epidural is a needle/tube that goes in your spine that could potentially paralyze you? How bad does it hurt?
