@abbyrose, ohh I hope all ended well though and your baby is happy and healthy xx

@ryanhodg3, that’s a delivery of my dream 😁

I had the epidural and I struggled getting her out because of it. I needed forceps and cutting (had a lot of stitches). But the epidural is controlled by a button in your hand. I made the mistake of topping it up when I found out the baby was ready to come out. I think if I'd have just left that last top-up it would have gone a lot better as i might have had more form of sensation xx

From my experience, without epidural i could control my body and was able to push really good. Pushed them all in under 5 minutes each, one of them for literally 1 minute.

But my last one i had the epidural, i felt i was pushing forever and it was doing nothing. After 20 minutes baby was out xx

I had epidural with my 2nd and yes it felt weird but I could still push when they asked. I did need a little assistance but he was stuck which didn't help. I was dead against having an epidural 1st time and I did manage it without one. But 2nd time I was much more anxious and wanted one to keep me calmer and more relaxed, which it did do.

I had the epidural and I couldn't feel nothing, i didnt feel like I was doing anything when pushing either. I didn't like the feeling of not been in control of my body, i ended up with a emergancy c section but not for that reason x
