[quote=Anonymous]Does an epidural make a big difference during the pushing stage? I know that it would sort of numb you a bit (some people say, too much) but is pushing without one superduper painful, or is the epidural more to get you through contractions? Last time I didn't get it until I was like 8 cm dilated and I think I could have kept going, but it was definitely a relief. Also for DC1, they had to do a small snip to get him out after I had been pushing for 3 hrs--not an episiotomy but it was a small snip. If I didn't have an epidural, would that hurt a lot? [/quote]
