Needle in the back - terrified

[Beach Mama]

I was so terrified too and epidural was definately not on my birth plan but after over 24 hours after being induced I wanted it and the fear was gone - I just need some relief. I didn't feel it at all, they do use something to numb it first, and I was more worried about my contractions at the time. The relief is great and then later on I had a spinal block for the c/s and didn't feel that either.
Good luck!

Hey Sheba

great Q

well some of you would be suprised that I have had an epidural!

I had 3...first one fell out, 2nd one didnt work well and I had a partial block and the 3rd worked a treat (I was 9cms)

Having the epidural didnt hurt one bit! just like a mozzie bite with the local anaesthetic...and there is so much going on you dont really notice it
