[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or..specifically looking to hear from women who had one natural delivery and one epidural delivery. I had an epidural with my first years ago and didn't like the total numbness during and after. Looking to go unmedicated this one but my husband thinks that's crazy given the "ease" of delivery with the epi first time around. So ladies that had both...which did you prefer?[/quote] I had an epi and was not totally dumb by any stretch.[/quote] My epidural DID numb me, all the way down to my toes. It was awful. It was placed slightly wrong so that as they gave me more and more medicine, it made my legs more and more numb. It took a good 10 hours after the birth for all the sensation to come back into my legs and feet. The worst part of the story was that the place where I actually needed pain relief -- that is, my belly -- was left with hardly any pain relief at all. Yuck. I also had residual lower back pain at the epidural site for about a year. Goes to show, every person's experience will be somewhat different.[/quote]
