At what dilation do you get the epidural? Also if I have to have c-section do they give you more numbing stuff or not? I've made my mind up on getting the epidural, so I don't need a million comments on why I shouldn't do it.
do you have to get a epidural when in labor
Mommas that have had an epidural. I have questionsss that need to answered lol. Does the epidural hurt when they do it ? Do you still feel pain when you’re in labor after getting one ?
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.
Birth Plan Rant I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?
Weird catheter question If you go through labor and give birth without an epidural, do you still get a catheter put in? Sorry I know this is weird...just curious!

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

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 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.

@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;
