[quote=Anonymous]OP, I had an epidural for both of my children. The first experience was like yours-- really, really numb from the waist down and for a long time afterward. With DC2, I could feel some pressure from the contractions but no pain, and my lower legs were not numb. The experience was so different from the first time that I was actually afraid the medication was wearing off or the dose was too low and had the nurse page the anesthesiologist back. He explained that he dosed me that way on purpose but could increase it if I preferred. I was happy with it that way and had a great labor. In short, you can still have an epidural without such total numbing. Talk to your OB (and at the hospital, with the anesthesiologist).[/quote]
