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!

@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;

@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.

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

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
