I had an epidural and I loved it. He got it in no problem. In fact I didn't even feel him put it in! Sure I had to stay flat on my back, but I was in no mood to move anyways. Once I had my epi I was in a great mood, visited with my family, and progressed very quickly. HOWEVER when it came to push I had just had it topped up and I could feel nothing. They had to cut me and use the vacuum extractor. Not sure if I would have needed that if I did not have the epidural, but her heartbeat was dropping and my contractions were stopping. I also had a horrible 3rd degree tear, but I did not know this as the epidural numbed it all. I was fine and I didnt even know that I had a tear until 3 days later when the home nurse came.
I would do it again. A pain free labour with a smile on my face was worth it. I would have been a TOTAL bitch if I didn't have it.
