Re: Spinoff to your last pics before birth
My epi was good for contraction pain, but it was shut off and wore off completely for delivery, and man it freakin HURT LIKE HELL! Next time around I want a Dr that leaves it on the entire time..

Re: Spinoff to your last pics before birth

This was EXACTLY my experience!!!!
Getting the epi didnt hurt AT ALL! It was such a relaxing feeling..I just wanted peace. It was wonderful when it was working and ON! When I started to push, the nurse came in and said we are shutting it off now..I almost died!!! I had never heard of that..apparently its the way my doctor does it. I pushed for 3 hours in excruciating pain (I cant lie) and in the end, wound up needing an emergency c section anyway. Then they came in and gave me more so I could feel numb again. Another thing that bothered me that I dont see many people talk about is the fact that it kept wearing off. I would rest comfortably for about an hour and then I would need to be "topped off" again. It was weird. It was like one minute I felt nothing and the next, all the pain of my back labor was back.
Overall though..its awesome! Next time though, I am going with a doctor who leaves that sucker on if I have to push (although I will probably have another section.)

I actually just asked my doctor about this the other day and she said that she does not turn it off (THANK GOD) that was one of my fears!

Re: Spinoff to your last pics before birth
I loved the epi. My DH nicknamed the anesthesiologist "Dr. Feelgood" bc I went from white knuckling the contractions to chatting on the phone to let everyone know I was in labor.

Re: Spinoff to your last pics before birth
The edipural relieved alot of my pain.
I felt the urge to push and so i did when i got it, i also felt the pressure of the contraction and I felt a contraction coming on - but i didn't feel the baby coming out or the doctor sewing me up! It was quite amazing.

I wouldnt know...it was way too fast how it happened and too late for me to get one.
I wonder if it would of made it easier but I cant complaing..my labor wasnt too long and she came in 10 min
This was me exactly! I got to the hospital and they told me everything was moving along too fast and I didn't have time for the epi. I got to the hospital at 7:30 pm...and DD was born at 8:43 pm.

Re: Spinoff to your last pics before birth
Loved the epi! I was begging for it as soon as we got to the hospital. It didn't totally get rid of the pain--I could feel real minor contractions and they were very short, like I was only feeling the peak. Then I had a c/s, so I don't know about pushing. I had a lopsided epi, which they say is common. It affected my right more than my left and I couldn't move my right leg at all on my own, but I could handle my left side fine.
