Do you plan to have an epidural(or did you have one with your other babies)? Why or why not?

Re: Epidural?

NO!

I told my Dr (well midwife) from day one I wanted No big needle near my spine unless absolutely necessary.

Thankfully I never had to have one.

Re: Epidural?

HELL YES! Why? Because I am a great big wienie with a low pain threshold and a high tolerance for pain killers. I see no need to be in any more pain than necessary!

Re: Epidural?

I had to be induced with both of them, so I had epidurals with both. If you have the right anesthesiologist, it's pretty slick.

Re: Epidural?

I didn't have one with my first pregnancy but it wasn't really "my" decision ... I was young so I did every thing the way my mom would have. I opted for an epidural for all my pregnancies after the first. I had no complications with the first epi other than prolonged numbness ... Couldn't feel anything while pushing and that was odd, but with Brenna's L&D, I ended up with a leak and some pretty nasty headaches before I left the doctor. I wasn't quite sure what they were for a while and then almost passed out when I took Brenna down to get her pictures done ... I ended up getting a patch to correct it, so it was like going through the epi procedure all over again.
