*picture for attention* ☺😅
So I got an epidural when I was in labor with my daughter. The anesthesiologist had to poke me like 5 times with the needle to get it in the right spot because my contractions were so close together I kept tensing up. I ended up having a spinal headache which was worse than labor itself almost. I'm thinking about trying for another baby soon. I'm wondering if since I had a spinal headache last time my chances of getting another one if I get another epidural are higher? Like I don't think I can go through labor without an epidural but that spinal headache was hell. It lasted for days after I got a blood patch that failed.

Oh also, intrathecal from what I remember could only be administered once and was only supposed to be effective for 45 mins or so
I had this happen too but never got the epidural. Babys HR kept plummeting. I ended up having intrathecal- numbs you from the waist down.
Do you know if you were in transition when they were trying to give you the epidural?? Bc I strongly suggest if you made it that far, to consider asking for intrathecal or even just taking it one contraction at a time. With my second I wanted the epi and was crying for it but I was too far along when I was admitted and gave birth naturally. I don’t remember the pain at all and healing was way easier than my first.
@havensmommy1, yeah I seriously believe you can do it without then. Your first you had no idea what to expect. I took some time to really read and study the labor section of “what to expect when you’re expecting” and even talked w my husband about it. I kid you not, I was way more prepared the second time around.
BUT I did freak out when I got to the hospital w my second. My nurse kept promising I’d get the epi- was actually the same nurse I had w my first DD 😂. I was like “are you sure you can make that promise??!😧”
I barely got an IV before she came. And the whole time I was like “SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT DO I DO?! WHAT DO I DO?!” When she was crowning 😂😂😂 so dramatic.
All that to say I bet you can do it!
@phoebesmommy I feel like that's gonna be me my second time around 😂 I wanted to do it without the epidural that first time too but then just lost it at the end lol
@havensmommy1, hey there’s nothing wrong with taking those drugs!!!
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.

My first I was hard to place but no issues. With my second I had some spinal fluid leak and had to go back to have a blood patch done in the hospital the day after I was released. 3rd baby, epidural was still rough (because of my scoliosis) but no issues other than trouble with placement.
