You dont feel anything, so i wouldnt worry about it.

And yvanne i think you would know if you'd had one, they dont take it out until you get the feeling back.

With my first one they waited until right before birth to give it to me, they said they wanted the full bladder to help "hold the baby in" since the Dr. was delivering a different baby at the time and we were waiting for her. but i did not feel a thing when they gave it to me. My youngest daughter...well there just want time I had her as I was getting the epidural.

This is honestly the only thing putting me off having the epidural! i know it may sound silly, but i really don't want the pee bag at my side!

Some people dont always have them, my sister said she didn't

I just remembered.........When my mum came to see me when I was back on the ward she came to the side of my bed to give me a kiss and she tripped over my wee bag!!!

Its a good job she didn't fall on it, she may have burst it!!!!!

I had a cathetar put in but didn't have an epidural. LO was at a very awkward angle and it was agony going to the toilet through labour so they put one in. Didn't feel a thing

and taking it out wasn't painful either. It is kinna gross having one in tho lol

I had to have one few years ago (for a surgery not related to pregnancy) and I didn't feel a thing when they put it in or took it out and I wasn't on any meds. I was freaking out about it for nothing!
