The IV does not hurt, it just feels like a something stung you, but afterwards you don't feel it. And the epidural, honestly it's the samething, for me I just felt it go in, and it didn't hurt. Just relax when they're doing it. Coming from a person terrified of needles and blood.

yeah my thing with needles are I'm nervous when I see them but once they are in its not bad lol but thanks made it better @haiydensmomma

I hate needles too but it really wasn't that bad! The iv hurts a little but just for a second & honestly the epidural hurt less then the iv. Barely felt it at all!

well yeah I got to suck it up and take it lol I have no choice @mandysue

Yeah. I had it. I had my son July 2. It's very exhausting and difficult but when he or she is out you're still tired but you forget about the pain

@mandysue, thanks I was thinking that but eh I guess you know just that nervous feeling that every ftm feels

lol I'm the same way that's why I'm scared of the IV and epidural @halsey11

The epidural is easy bc you want the relief.

@hassle y11, listen to her! She's exactly right

Don't be scared. I just don't like needles around my hands 😂 like I freak out when I have to get a finger prick

😷

omg you scared me again lol @halsey11

Anytime. 🙂

I'm due with my fifth baby here in about 5-6 weeks. Tbh the iv is the worst part. It's the part I dreaded the most with al of mine. My third was the worst because the nurse busted my vein the first try. They do numb it though first. Epidural wasn't that bad because at that point I was in so much pain, I just wanted relief.

okay thanks so much you made me feel better about it now @soon2b2 😊
