Hi Sheba,

I was terrrified too!! I went in shaking terribly!! They kept asking me if i was cold or just nervous but i think it was a bit of both!

The only bit that really hurt was the local, not so much the actual epidural, because i remember the anaethetist saying "ok, all done!" and I didn't even realise because it didn't hurt! I remember feeling a popping sensation in my back before he said he was finished though...

As hard as it is, try not to be nervous about it because it's over in a matter of minutes and then you get your beautiful bubba at the end!!

Good Luck Sheba
