Sa...Yup, I have had an epidural with all 5 kiddos. Sadly though, depending on who is actually doing it, will depend on how well its done. I have had some really bad ones. But Ezme, by far, was the worse.<br /><br />Because I have inductions with pitocin, the pain, is extreme. Let's just say, the pain you went through with a natural childbirth, times that by a million. That's basically what it feels like. And because I can no longer even attempt to go "naturally" if I wanted too, the induction is all I have. <br /><br />Bath tubs are not an option at Woman and Infants and neither is the shower. Unless you are having a true natural labor. And even those are screened so badly that it takes a miracle to get that lucky. The birth part isn't so bad. But the needles and the leading up to the epidural. Well, that's enough to put me in a worry zone.<br /><br />So, for now, I just sit, worry and wait. It sucks so much.Kileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09503417265126874065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3842222782405978277.post-84824258325003479052010-08-24T15:47:05.226-04:002010-08-24T15:47:05.226-04:00kiley, Did you have an epidural with the other chi...kiley, Did you have an epidural with the other children or just with Ezme? Either way, you have given birth before. Your body and your baby know what to do. Yeah labor it hurts, thats why they call it "labor" and not something else, like "paradise". At the end of all that pain though will be your beautiful little boy. Lots of prayers for you and everyone. <br /><br />Is there any one thing that can help you feel relaxed? A hot bath? Quiet music? Whatever it is, do it whenever you can.tgmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04392686567818581399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3842222782405978277.post-16083753741189499822010-08-24T13:15:00.612-04:002010-08-24T13:15:00.612-04:00My epidural was a nightmare.

The people who put it in have very little patience and are not nice at all, so it makes the process that much more horrific for me. Nothing like them telling you to stay still, be quiet, stop crying, when your having contractions and them putting the stuff in hurts. Horrid experience. Just horrid.Kileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09503417265126874065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3842222782405978277.post-55257497534516778512010-08-24T13:10:10.991-04:002010-08-24T13:10:10.991-04:00I can't believe you will have two babies under...I can't believe you will have two babies under a year old! What happened with your epidural?<br /><br />I'll say a prayer that you get a room with a view - hopefully there is no full moon bringing all the babies out :)<br /><br />Good luck!Nicole S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04073857953370420287noreply@blogger.com
