@missjess, yeah my bf was scared at first too but he was more worried about how much pain i was in he didnt wanna see me suffer any longer and the doctor said it depends on the person its not likely that it can mess up your back some people show signs of muscle spasms but there are a lot people who don't show any symptoms at all but im glad i got the epidural because my daughter ripped me and i had to get 3 stitches being numb from the waist down i didnt feel anything n she was my first baby she wasnt even that big only 6lbs even

Thank you I appreciate it! My ex scared with how big the needle is and I've read how it can mess up your back@lteat28

@missjess, an epidural is nothing like you think at all i was terrified of getting one but wen i went into labor n those pains hit i asked for the epidural n i was so focused on being in so much pain that i didnt even realize the needle going into my back but once that medicine hit i felt so relieved and it was a breeze from there you will do great no matter what you decide to do good luck with everything hope my little story helps

@constancetinople, I'd love to see a man go through pregnancy let alone labor! They whine and complain about having a little cold! Like I just pushed a human out of my vagina! How about you push one out through your dick and see how you feel about that ☺️

My mom told me yesterday to not be afraid of getting one because it's very painful. I told her I was going to try and go natural but I still want the option of having an epidural

@constancetinople, that sucks but if he were in your shoes he'd do the same thing u did!

@babyj0916, I'm doing the same thing

I don't want one but Ima get one with my first child then second I'll go natural

i didn't want one, but being induced was so freaking painful i couldn't stand it. my husband though didn't like that i got it and he made feel horrible about it. as if he knew what that pain was like 😐 it bothers me when he downplays how my pregnancy was or how the labor was. he thinks it's easy but it's not.

@firsttimegypsymama, for me it wasn't bad at all , i Think is nothing compare with labor pain lol

Doesn't hurt at all you can barely feel anything people work you up for nothing that's what I thought my whole time getting it @firsttimegypsymama

I am scared to know what an epidural feels like
