      UPDATE: tbh, if you are giving birth with epidural, its the hardest part but its worth it. It took a bit to get the needle in cause of scoliosis but other than that its worth it.

    I had to get one yesterday for a non birth related procedure..but I'm pregnant. Listen...epidurals are so not bad it's like a tiny flu shot in your lower back. Barley hurt at all. And the medicine is amazing!! Never felt so relaxed and happy in my life. Recomend strongly!

    Thank you so much. I'm currently 20 weeks pregnant and have been told to think about the epidural. I watch a video seen the needle and was 100% against it like nooope!! After hearing this I think I would probably take it if my first choice of birth pool went wrong!

    I’ve heard a lot of the same so I appreciate the consistency. My question is, how do you know how to push if you can’t feel yourself? I’m just a kid that likes anatomy so I don’t have kids but I could imagine that would be pretty frustrating to figure out if you were a first time mother right?

      For me I felt alot pressure in my lower region( near my anal area), they also do vaginal checks to see how far along you are. Once you hit 10cm dilated then you start to push. Your body just naturally knows. Plus the nurses also have you hooked up with belt around the tummy that detects contractions and monitors the baby's heart beat.

  • @meganwalsh228

    i think it's probably more like the procedure done for ingrown toenails, they just use a cold spray and then a numbing shot, it burns like a little mother for like 10-15 seconds then u only feel pressure on ur toe, so i'm guessing it's like that but with your whole back and lower body

They numbed me up, then 2 Sec later they started inserting the needle in, mind you I had 0hours of sleep, was having contractions, and I have arthritis is my spine.

    I've seen and heard so many women say that the epidural didnt hurt or wasn't bad. And maybe things in medicine have changed a lot in the past decade and a half but I had the absolute worst experience with my epidural. It literally felt like someone stabbed me in my back with a knife. It was excruciating and I've never screamed so load and cried so hard. It felt like I was being tortured alive. It truly was horrific, I've never forgotten the feeling of that needle going in my back. I don't recall the anesthesiologist telling me he was going to numb me first so I keep wondering if that's what happened.... I wish there was a way to find out but I don't think those medical records are available anymore. I'm glad most ladies have had a better experience. No one should have to go through what I went through.

    Hell no, i felt it! It was horrible, they had to do it 3 times! I was so bad! The numbing didnt work, they had to put me to sleep and do a c section. But my story is a tragedy. I was 40 weeks pregnant, already dilated to a 4 and they send me home and said, your bsby will be here by the end of the weeks. I didnt have an easy pregnancy to say the least. I asked my doctor to induce early because i was having a lot of difficulties. I gained over 100lbs. Im pretty sure i had preeclampsia, but the doctor said i dont have the symptoms, (which i did). Anyways i had a horrible headache and i told my husband take me to the hospital, im in a lot of pain i think im in labor. I get there, excited! And nurses and sonogram techs tell me, theres no heartbeat... my whole world crush beneath my feet. I was pushing nurses off of me, screaming, crying so load. It was a placenta rupture. My last ultrasound was only 3 days before this... if they would have listened to me, my daughter Dixie would be here today. 7lbs 11 ounces, 5-27-22 . She was my world... im 28, and im not sure if ill ever get to experience motherhood. Ive had 3 miscarriages , and Dixie stillborn. She was so beautiful! Precious! God decided to take her home early, the world never had chance to hurt her. All she knew was the comfort of mommys love. Dixie Lu Anne Nelson

    I also had a severe reaction that almost caused me to have an emergency C section... of which they never warned me of a severe reaction. Even though it's possible. So yeah I'm the weird exception. I honestly would've rather not had an epidural. Plus I was induced so the pains were horrid.

    One time I needed a numbing shot at the dentist, but I refused and through one of my biggest fits ever. I just refused. I hate shots, and the mouth is NEVER a place that the shot should be.
    As far as this goes, I have awhile until I have a baby. Years, since I am young. But this was a very educational video. Thank you for being honest.
    Also, I must thank all the mom's out there for doing this, no matter whose mom it is. This and labor are certainly no easy task.!!!!
    Thanks mom's!!!

      Depends if you are willing to go through all the pregnancy symptoms and the process of the baby coming out later. Then you gotta raise it for better or worse later after they come out, or you could also just do safe haven

    I see that the responses go from "I didn't even feel it at all" to "it burns like a mother". This is not unexpected. Like all professions, some anesthesia providers are better than others. Some have learned different "tricks" to minimize the whole experience while others have not. In general, most anesthesia providers do not particularly enjoy the obstetrical part of their practice....for a variety of reasons. Sometimes how they practice is reflected or influenced by their attitude towards obstetrical anesthesia.....unfortunately.
