hi,

I had an epidural after i was in labour for about 19 or 20 hours, (i can't believe i lasted so long without it), but after that long, i was only 6 or so cm dialated and basically just exhausted.

I was happy with my decission then, because i dialated the extra 4 cm because i was relaxed, but after an hour and a half it had completly warn off, and now i find that i get back pain around that area when i hadn't had back pain before hand..

I don't regret having the epidural one little bit, otherwise my labour might of never ended. lol.

Good luck with your decission.

Eryn xoxo
