Im absolutely 100% terrified of needles but my back labor was so bad that i got the epidural. Its really not as bad as you think, its not really the needle getting threaded through your back.. its a small tube. Definitely dont regret it though

I just had my baby boy on Wednesday morning at 3:08 and was in labor from 7:30 am Tuesday until 3:08 am Wednesday and pushed for 3 hours and have a 2nd degree tear so I have 1 stitch @nomie

they broke my water before the epidural.. it was the weirdest feeling ever not having control over your body. my contractions were so bad I didn't even feel the epidural... I was just thankful when I could actually relax and get rest.

@nomie i understand when I got the epidural i didn't look at or feel it

@mami1234 im on pitconin now n dont rly feel contractions so hopefully when pop my water wont be too bad. i really dont want a epidural. maybe laughing gas but not a big ass needle in my back xp

They gave me my epidural before they popped my water in the hospital
