Just doing some research, if you got the epidural how many centimeters were you and how long did it…

I don't remember specific times but I got the epidural at 6 cm. Things progressed just fine after that. I took a two hour nap and then it was time to push. Total time in active labor was 15 hours.

I was 10cm and labouring down (waiting to push bc the baby should've been lower). The contractions were too much for me after 40+ hours of my induction ordeal so I gave in and got it. It wore off while I pushed though. Honestly the contractions were far worse than the feeling of her head crowning and all that. I'd wait as long as you can

At 7 I got an epidural and immediately stopped dialating and now I am stuck having C-section only🤗🤗🤗

@kjcross that's my plan is to wait as long as I possibly can.. but jeez that's a sad epidural story. Strong girl going so long without it though!

@brittney.arp11 honestly the main reason I dont want an epirdural..if I had to have a c section then okay that really sucks but if the epidural made me stop dialating I would be so so so upset 😭

With my last two I got induced when I was barely 1cm and they wouldn’t give you an epidural until you reach at least 3cm. For me I take longer to dilate without it because of the pain. With the epidural I dilate every hour or two until I reach 7cm and then in .3 seconds I’m fully dilated and ready to push lol.

I got my epidural when I was 3cm at 11pm at night, and didn’t have my baby till 2:46 pm the next day. I was in labor for 21 hours. It was a lifesaver though!

I was in labor for 12 hours and barely at 5 cm. After I got it, it took five hours and delivery was a breeze.

I progressed from 4cm to 7.5cm pretty quickly.. got the epidural and my labor stalled for a few hours. I ended up getting pitocin to get things started again.

I think i was like 4 or 5cm dilated when i got mine and it seemed like i dilated wicked fast after i got it

I got the epidural at 8 cm and progressed to 10 cm in 2 hours. Time in labor before epidural - 7 hours. 9 hours of contractions in total.

I got mine when I was a 3 with my first. It did slow me down a bit and they had to up the pitocin but my labor was 9 hours. With my second I got it at a 6 and my whole labor was 6 hours. I feel like it relaxed me enough to help me dilate more.

I got it at 6 cm, and 2 hrs later i gave birth

I went at 6 by the time I got my epidural I was 8, about 10, 20 mins after or sooner she was coming lol

@skyandangelsmom Jeez that sounds like a deal!!! Jealous!

@kendrab, it was a really smooth and fast process altogether honestly! Me and my daughter talked a lot lmao! Also, I labored at home for ATLEAST two hours waiting for Everton to get dressed up for her arrival 😑 plus the 30 min drive there ! Hopefully by the time you get there you will dilated quite a ways..

@skyandangelsmom I plan on waiting at home for a little while the hospital is only 10 minutes away but I am terrified of waiting too long

I’m praying for the same thing this time around I don’t wanna be sitting in the hospital either, pain or not.
