I cant stop thinking about the epidural. And I am only 12 weeks.... I'm so scared of needles. I'm…

I was so afraid, too but it really wasn't that bad! Don't psyche yourself out! :]

You don’t see it, and if they do it right, you don’t really feel the needle go in, just the medicine that stings.

I was so scared tbh, i worked myself up about it. I jumped which DO NOT do it can mess your back up and threw up but im getting the epidural with baby two as well.

Look at other options

@tyrellp phahahha I'm too big of a baby to do it natural.

@girlmom. Well a lot of people say it's not bad but a couple months ago before I was pregnant my mom said she squirmed and people had to hold her down because it hurt so bad

@jaquelinerachelle, I’ve had it done twice and it wasn’t bad for all for me..

I just had one! And honestly I psyched myself out more than anything if I would have stayed calm it would have been better for me but even so it wasn’t horrible and it totally worth it to get this rest I’ve been needing

I was so terrified of it my blood pressure sky rocketed and I was hysterically crying. The worst part is the tiny sting for the numbing before thy place it and that lasts maybe 30 seconds. You will be perfectly fine if you choose to get an epidural!

So I'm terrified of needles bad like I almost pass out when they draw blood because of the needles. The epidural isn't bad at all. You don't see the needle and you don't feel it gone in. They are really super nice and fast. Honestly your contractions are so bad you don't even think about it. When I got my epidural my contractions were reading 400 on the monitor. I waited as long as possible because I heard it can slow labor down but I firmly believe it speed mine up. 10 mins after I gor it I was ready to push before they put it in I was only a 5 then bam a 10. I have no back pain from it at all and I was able to do walk and every thing right after they took it out. If you get it early you have to get a cather which I heard is what actually hurts not the epidural itself I didn't have to get the cather. I tried the IV pain meds but those only work for 5 mins. I wasny able to feel my contractions with the epidural but I could feel when I needed to pusg

It's really not that bad. Honestly in the moment when you're having contractions the pain from that is nothing. Just relax, don't look at it beforehand and focus on something else while you're getting it. It'll go in fast and you'll feel relieved after.

@damiensmommy1117 yeah that's what my sister had but then her second time they said they didn't do that which mad no sense

The only thing that I hate about it is the fact you have to hold extremely still during the placement

The pain is worth what it feels like after...nothing ☺️

And do you have any reason for epidural? In real life if you can relax and breath well you will feel yourself good without hard pain, so do not need epidural.

Some of woman feel orgasm in birthing. Look for ‘Orgasmic birth: the best-kept secret’ in video. 😜

@yarogneva nooo I am having an epidural lol I am the biggest baby ever. I wouldn't be able to go through with it if I did it naturally 😂

@jaquelinerachelle, you are not the biggest, just cutest 😜

If you have a rational diet during pregnancy your baby will birth naturally. I mean don’t eat a lot of sugars, baking, fast food and etc. I ate. So I had a pre-diabet 👹 I have been on diet last 9 months so feeling better.

@jaquelinerachelle, my baby was 4020g and 55cm. Normally he need to be about 3200g and 49-52cm.
