I'm on my third baby and will definitely have another epidural. I don't care what they say the perks of not having one are, labor HURTS.

I got an epidural. It didn't hurt at all, but it made my blood pressure drop drastically and I needed another drug to offset. Felt like I was drifting off to a peaceful forever sleep.

I felt my epidural. They had to do it 2 times. The worst feeling was when they threaded the catheter. It's not a pleasant feeling.

Every time I have back pain, I regret that epidural. My kid is 5!
If you can withstand the pain...don't do it!
