[quote=Anonymous]With my first, incredibly long 36 hour labor, I went to the hospital after 24 hours. I decided to go without the epidural for a few more hours, but they gave me the hep lock, so I would be ready. Even with contractions coming every 2 minutes, I was still bothered by the darn thing. Yes, compared to contractions the hep lock was not that painful, but it was a throbbing discomfort that just wouldn't quit and it caused me to have trouble focusing. As soon as baby was born, I asked them to remove it immediately. Should it have been so uncomfortable? I am not sure if that is normal, or if they did a bad job. I'm dreading labor more because of that stupid needle than anything else! Can I get some feedback from others-- if it hurts like that next time, should I ask the nurse to reposition it or is the dull pain of it standard? What was your experience? Thanks![/quote]
