@rikkil384 I had a csection with my 1st son but my doctor wants to try a VBAC this time. In terms of pain meds, If I feel like I can't handle the pain I'll definitely be asking for them.

@rikkil384 I did have shooting pains in my back the first couple of months after my epidural but that resolved completely. Like @gennaraetarallo said everyone's experience is different I know people who were induced and gave birth within an hour or two. However your birth story turns out I'm sure you will handle it like a champ. Also, what they say is true as soon as I heard my son cried none of what I went through mattered it all seemed insignificant and worth it to see his face and hear his voice.

@rikkil384 yes it is. Everyone I've talked to said the epidural was like the best decision ever lol. As far as getting induced, it's different for everyone no matter what kind of labor it is. Just try to stay calm. I'm terrified as well an I'm using essential oils to help with my nerves lol

@kimny No specific reason just because I wanted a specific doctor I been working with because if I go over the weekend I Don't really know the doctor on call. With process you went through that does sound terrible I really don't want it to be long like that , but I know I can't control that.... I really don't know what to do lol. I appreciate your input and advice!

I've heard that being induced is more intense. Hoping I'm not induced. As for the epidural I hear that you don't really feel anything but pressure. The numbing meds they give u is thru a shot and I heard feels like a bee sting but after that it's mostly just pressure then nothing.

Are you getting induced for a specific medical reason? I got induced with my son voluntarily and the process was sooo long. Granted everyone is different. I went in November 17th at like 6pm and didn't give birth till the 18th at like 7-8pm. Was in labor for 18hrs got an epidural after like 10hrs and it wore off after what felt like an hour or 2. Once again everyone's experiences are different but I definitely would just wait for my son to come on his own time if I could do it all over again.

Instructions ain't bad but the epidural do have long term side-effects down the line but no you don't feel much
