I'm Currently Feeling: 


i'll be having one i suspect, either in birth or because I'll have a c section.
I've a condition and am guaranteed to rip. I'm not ready to face that pain head on.

The thought of the epidural doesnt bother me.
I didnt like looking at those photos much but then I cant look when i give a blood sample!

A freind had one last week and said she felt no pain.


I wonder if a mobile epidural can be used for a c sectioN?! might read up on that.

I had 2 in my first labour, neither worked, but I had no bad side effects from them either. I had one in my last labour and WOW it was ace, and again apart from obvious back ache for a little while, I had no bad side effects and if I have any more babies I will defo opt for the epi again, without a shadow of a doubt!

99% of the women I know and in my family have had epis and I do not know of 1 person that had a bad experience.

Good Luck with your decision hun! x

That was my plan, but they've closed the birthing pool at my hospital for 'health and safety' reasons, and have to build a new one. MW said it probably won't be finished by the time Junior makes an appearance Im really disappointed.
