@boymom_ im at 8cm i dont know if i could ever do this with out pain meds, your seriously a trooper !!

@jessicamichener21 I think the guy just didn't know what he was doing, so bad I was terrified and had my 2nd kid with no pain meds lol

@boymom_ thats scary, im sorry! Did it just not work? So far its been okay, but i feel like its wearing off they might have to bring the anesthesiologist back in

Hope yours went well I had the worst experience!

Its a stings for like 30 seconds then it take a few to actually work but when it does you feel nothing but tingles like a asleep feeling

It wasnt too bad, i did have a few tears run down but it was manageable!! Now time to nap cause shes taking her sweet time! Thank you everyone 😍😍

They anesthesiologist described it like hitting your funny bone on your back. It’s a little sensation that travels down your legs. I had no pain at all and super easy 👍🏻

It feels like a bee sting when they put it in then with in like 30 minutes you barely feel anything anymore at least that’s what happened with me. It could make you shake though and for me my whole face and chest itched so bad but it was worth it instead of the contractions I was having

@jessicamichener21, it was my first too I just had my son on the 5th and my contractions were so bad I was in tears and kept thinking I don’t know how I’m going to get through this and then after I got the epidural I felt like I could do it again

With my first I had back labor so when I got my epidural I couldn't even feel it tbh. But my second one my contractions were hurting but not to the point where I, couldn't stand it anymore and the nurse told me if I didn't get my epidural then then I wouldn't be able to get it and I thought it hurt worse than the contractions it was only in many 20 mins and didn't have have to take effect yet before I had the baby. So this time imma try and go with out it

@tammyross93 thank you

Oh wow, well hopefully that happens with me because im not gonna lie this is my first & im soooo terrified! So many emotions right now, more excited but soo scared! I dont want it to hurt!

Good luck! 💙

@jessicamichener21, yes they even had to tell me when it was time to push they ended up shutting it off then so I could start feeling alittle

@tammyross93 good to hear, because these contractions hurt so bad 😢 !!

I didn’t think so. Much more manageable after I couldn’t even feel my contractions after I got it
