Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, wasn't sure to address mothers who already have been through a birth??
I am wondering about the epidural... I haven't decided yet if I'm going to get one and this is why.
I am really not good with pain, so that makes me think I should get one. But I am AWFUL with needles! Isn't it like a huge needle they put into your spine!? blink.gif My mother told me (a while ago, she still doesn't know I'm pregnant) that for her, she didn't even care about the pain of getting the epidural because it wasn't as bad as the labor pain she was in. But I don't know, I think I might freak out. I nearly lose it just getting an IV, I have to have a nurse/family member to hold me still for it!!
Did you get an epidural? What was it like, did you even notice the pain of the needle etc.? And if you didn't get an epidural, do you wish you would have because of how painful it was??
I know I still have nearly 8 months til labor, but I am starting to think about it now or else I'll freak out later!! Please help me, I would love to hear about others' experiences.
