I had one by accident. They gave me the epidural and were surprised that I was still moving around after. I was numb enough that my contactions no longer hurt (could still feel the tightness of them) but had enough feeling to be able to walk....though they put a catheter in anyways. I even got up into a squat position for part of my pushing. After delivery I had really bad tearing and they had turned the epidural off to help me push so they had to top me off. This time they put more in I guess cuz I was so numb I could no longer move my legs at all. It was a really horrid feeling and I much prefered the lower dose.
