whats the difference between

a spinal and an epidural..???

Ive been meaning to ask this question... Every time I talk about my c-section I say I got a spinal...and my mil (Chat Icon ) says you had an epidural...

I was nervous and all...but I distinctly remember signing papers for a spinal...unless of course they are the same thing...

whats all the differences....Im just curious...I like information haha

Re: whats the difference between

a spinal is a one time shot in between the dics into the spinal fluid area which makes you numb but it eventually wears off

an epi is a shot in the spine with a tube connected to it that stays in your back where the medicine can be pushed into as needed.

Tell your MIL to read up on her terminologyChat Icon

not dangerous per say. Anything going near the spine is a risk but my doc said damage from a spinal is like trying to poke spaghetti in a pot of boiling water with a needle

the both go into your spine, i think the spinal goes in to the space between the discs where an epi doesnt but dont quote me on that.
