I had this kind of anesthesia but After c section even after 18 years I'm still struggling bc of low back pain
Had it for my 2 children and I might do it again. Can't stand the pain without it.

I've tried epidural. It was very effective. Truly a painless labor...
What were the complications that you felt after delivery can u share mam, like unable to pee or back pain or something?
@@aakarsh9651 glory to God, I didnt experience any of those...
Hi...while giving epidural while inserting needle and catheter..was it painful at spine..and when will they insert...like if am having labour pains for 24hrsor so...when willthey insert for epidural .
Not for me ! The epidural didn’t work! They had to stop everything and do it over.

I did epidural in my 2 pregnancies and now i will going to do it again in my 3rd in 4 months😊
I just had my c section two months back. Am afraid about back pain as they have given spinal anesthesia? Pls you all people answer me do everyone who get spinal or epidural anasthesia will get back pain for the rest of life? Don't you have any back ache? Pls pls answer me.
@@nithyashree7637 i did it two times in my both pregnancies and i will do it again in my 3rd on January 2020 and i was having a small back pain for about the first 2 weeks after delivery but later i was perfect!!!i am 37 years old and the last time i did it was on january 2018!!!!i didn't have any problem☺
@@agapi1904 Thanks for the reply and it is good to hear that you dont have any back ache issues due to anasthesia. But, 90% of the women say that anesthesia has caused them chronic back pain. (Due to fluid leakage of spinal) Can't sit or stand for long hours and can't even turn in bed sometimes. Am afraid about that. Is that true? And did you do any home remedies for back ache?
@@nithyashree7637 a lotbof my friends did it too and they are feeling great i haven't heard anything bad until now from any of my friends honestly💞😜👍
@@agapi1904 Thats good. 😊 Then I hope everything goes well for me too.
The moment we see our little one,we will get rid of the pain💞
I appreciated their concern to the patient They are very helpful. I feel this pain when I was born my first baby. But it's not effected on me that time. 😭

Is it possible to have a normal delivery after having a Caesarean section ? If yes then what are it’s risks or there are not any ? Please reply.
Saima Ilyas yes it is very possible, I had a C-section with my first born and a normal birth with my second child, I am pregnant and I’m still going for a Normal birth. There’s no risk!
There should be some years GAp for normal second delivery, at least 3 years

Two years since my last epidural , I usually get back pain, very sharp pain dt makes me stand in one spot and I won't be able to move my legs for a while. Could it be due to the injection?
Hello and thank you for your question. We encourage you to consult with your specialist, who will be able to help you answer this question and help you find a solution to soothe your pain. Best regards.
Hopitaux Universitaires de Genève thank you
No its not because of epidural, back pain remains because of labor
🍌🍌🍌
You might need epidural blood patch
Wooow so educative
I'm not getting a baby for sure
Do you have to get a catheter for peeing if you get a epidural? Cuz I heard you do but I dong want one
Hello and thank you for your question.
A catheter is used during this procedure because you are not able to get up and move around to use the bathroom and because you may not feel the need to urinate.
The bladder catheter would ideally not be placed until after the epidural is working well. This will prevent you from feeling the insertion.
Do not hesitate to voice your concerns to the healthcare staff, and discuss with them how your procedure will take place, they are there to listen to you. Best regards.
I am very proud to be an a woman👩
Interesting video didn't get one. Just wondered.

Hi Sally just checking in on you

Hey how was your experience? Did you take epidural ?
You will die for the pain, if you don't get epidural trust me you would scream for epidural to give you one, once you feel contractions😄
I'm using my boyfriends account. What drug is in the combined epi? I've had it twice and felt high that was the worse part of them
Anesteshia is so hard i am so suffer from back pain

Bernadette Sandoval Switzerland !

am gonna do the epidural am almost due n scare of the pain
Was it good??
Ruth Landau!
I'm not worried about the epidural itself, I'm worried about the numbing shot BEFORE the epidural is placed
Hello and thank you for sharing this issue with us. Please let the staff who will be taking care of you know that you are worried about this step and they will do their best to make you as confortable as possible. Best regards.
There are techniques that can significantly minimize the stinging or the burning of the initial localization of the skin, prior to the placement of the epidural needle.
I’m more worried about the big needle I’m really scared about needle

My only worry is that the person giving me the epidural screw up. One can get paralysed if anything goes wrong. If this happen, no amount of apologies can undo the damage. Monetary compensation may help a bit.
For normal delivery or natural birth this epidural is given or not...? Or if we want so is this anesthesia provided

I have a back pain still from epidural.. lifetime of pain
How do u know its not from pregnancy carrying that extra weight on your spine ...did you have back pain when you were pregnant ...???
myth
Is it hurt
No. Not with a Spinal. It feels like strong pressure because they numb the spot with a gel first. I don't know if a Spinal hurts more since they leave in a catheter in like a tail.
I'm also... Feel that movement
I'm also feel that but not for delivery for abortion ☹️😥
If you have a pump to get more when you feel pain how do women say it wore off? Couldny you just pump more?
Hello and thank you for your question. However, we're not sure that we clearly understand what you are asking, maybe you could formulate it differently, please? Or better yet, in order to get a personalised answer to your question, we encourage you to ask it directly to the staff taking care of you.

My pump ran out unfortunately and you can only use it like every 20 mins so if your having tough labor sometimes you have to wait. I was in labor 17 hours and still ended up with csection. Hoping for best this time around. 32 weeks today!

If you have any questions, please refer to a professional, you can contact the anesthesia department of the HUG here: www.hug-ge.ch/en/anesthesiology Best regards
Marcain is the drug used in epidural with a conc of 5% ...some times opiods used in low doses...the doses differ according to pt condition or to op duration
My shot HURT so bad I was shaking uncontrollably! Then they messed up and I had to have a spinal on top of it...once they got it right I felt nothing but prepare yourself for pain!
Me too! But the most painful part? Is dt my husband doesn't appreciate the pain I went thru, I was shaking so much,they didn't get the shot at once,the doc kept repeating it and it was so intense and Sharp on my back and I couldn't move 😭
I was given local anaesthesia in my lower back. I had an incredible head shaking for whole three days and I was like I’ll be shaking my head whole my life. Thank God I recovered the fourth day.
My spinal block surgery was so painful. Hurt so bad. How can others take the pain while others can’t?
my girlfriend is worried about peeing during labor or in the hospital

If I ever get kidney stones can I get one? I know women are tougher than men so save me with that comment
Hello and thank you for your question. Epidurals are suitable for certain procedures, while others that require the patient to lie very still need to be done under general anesthesia. You can read more here about the procedure to remove kidney stones. www.hug-ge.ch/nephrologie/lithiase-renale Best regards.
