We heard horror stories from women and my wife was scared enough to consider childbirth with nothing!. That changed after 15 hard contractions or so!.!.!.!.and the epidural was put in!.!.!.5 minutes later she was smiling with no pain afterwards!.

The epidural did dramatically slow the frequency and force of contractions!.!.!.and the doctor had to push pitocin to help her contractions!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have had two epidurals with my kids and both experiences were different!. With my first son it did not hurt at all!. They had me sitting on stool hugging a pillow!. I felt some really cold spray hit my back and then they told me that the needle was in!. I didn't even feel it!. The only thing was that it hurt for about a week after!. It is like a little stiffness where the needle had gone in!.

With my second son they had me lying down on the stretcher in a fetal position holding a pillow!. They had some nurses pressing down on my feet to hold me still!. I felt something cold being rubbed on my back but when they injected the needle I felt a lot of pain!. For about two or three days it felt like the needle was still in there and I had a little discomfort but after seeing both babies it was all worth it!!!Www@Answer-Health@Com
