    • @hug_ge
      @hug_ge  4 роки тому +3

      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.

      In india they rarely give epidurals. My doc refused to give one for me and I did deliver my baby without one

    All thanks 🙏 to ifa_iyanuwa for making me pregnant with her fertility spell and giving birth successfully, after so many years of miscarriage.
