Thoughts on epidurals?

Life saver lol, worth it.

Loved mine

Definitely!! It helped me so much!! 👌🏻

I'm beyond happy I got mine, when I was delivering my son I was literally smiling, laughing, and having a full blown conversation with nurse.

So many people have told me they're dangerous and could go wrong

I had them with two of my kiddos.

Mine was no help what so ever I felt every pain there was and now my back hurts a lot and it never bugged me before so I won't get one with my next baby or another kids after that's

Best thing that I have ever gotten!!! Wouldn't of changed it lol

I find it unnecessary, we as woman should be able to natrually know how to push etc . All my friends who have gotten the epidural have back pain and regret getting it. My saying is I would rather have hours of pain then a life time of back pain

My epidural made my labor experience one of the most enjoyable and beautiful things I have ever done in my LIFE. [Which is probably why I got pregnant again 4m PP xP] I was well rested, and still felt my water popping when the nurse checked me. Still felt the birthing process but not to the point I was screaming for the lady next door to be scarred. I bow down to the natural mothers, but for me personally, epidural was made for a damn good reason. This isn't the stone age anymore. lmfaooo

@navymade21, have u did any extensive research on the makeup of an epidural. No opioids for this mama @chibiytino, 👏🏼 but ultimately u choose if u wanna risk all these things for one day of ur life for me it was an easy choice my baby and myself out weighed the risk. I don't knock any women that did I believe people do for reasons like they don't know any better, there friends did it, scared of the pain and bunch of others I'm sure I honestly don't see how it legal but we live in a corrupt world.im leaving just bits and pieces of research for u to look over don't wanna blow up u post but u asking for thoughts I'm giving facts not thoughts.

And people wonder why they are on monitors. I would wanna be too if I had all that. I had no monitors no drugs of any kind. @navymade21, I'm happy to share the ways I coped what helped me or any advise if u would like it.

Once they were actually able to get my epidural in, it was amazing. I was actually able to rest and I still was able to feel the birthing process but with out screaming my head off because I was in so much pain.

@txyogagirl I would love to hear

I got one, but I think I could have toughed it out. I was already 6 centimeters when I got it and didn't get any pain until I was 6 centimeters. But my mom got it when she had my brother and they put the epidural in wrong and she was numb from the waist up instead of from the waist down and couldn't breathe. She almost died. So after that she decided no more kids. She has a lot of back problems and it's been over 15 years. It can be dangerous.

Worth it

I did my research and I talked to my sister in law who is a doctor in another country,I have horrible back pain called sciatica which is a nerve problem that fuvks up my back to the degree in which I can't sneeze,stand up,lay down or carry heavy things...anywho that's why I wouldn't risk my back anymore to anything else ..

@txyogagirl

@chibiytino, that sounds horrible

@txyogagirl tell me about -_- when I was 40 weeks I was crying to give birth but at the same time I didn't want to rush my baby so I waited .. and it was a real pain
