At what dilation do you get the epidural? Also if I have to have c-section do they give you more…

I think it might depend on the doctor cause one of my friends got it at 4cm

but I see people on here that say like 6

I'm not sure when the cut off for the epidural is but when you get a c section the put the spinal block meds straight into the epi line

I got it at 5cm with my girls and 9cm with one boy, 10cm with the other.

okay thanks @keeganmommy @santistevanmommie I didn't know they could give you one when your that far along!! @halsey11

I got it at 4 but because my body was under so my stress my doctor & hubby actually talked me into it to calm my body down. & after all our complications I'm so happy I got it, even though it wore off & I labored & delivered naturally for the last 4-5 or so hours naturally

Oh wow!! My thing is I'd rather get it so I'm not worn out when it comes to pushing. I just didn't know if its your choice of when to get or the drs @hart.momma

@tuckerlee1016, they will ask when you want it usually. So just talk to your doctor before hand or the nurses when you are in labor. They will tell you.

okay thanks @hart.momma

@tuckerlee1016, my boys moved fast, when they checked me I wasn't that far but by the time the anesthesiologist got to my room, did the epidural and they checked me right after her left I was 9&10cm;

I got it at 4cm and at 6cm

okay thanks @mommytoprincessmckenzie
