[quote=Anonymous]The midwives didn't really recognize I was in labor so I am not sure what point I was at. But I was having contractions every 2-3 mins. I was only 3 cm dilated. Baby came about 5 hrs later. Personally I would not want to get an epidural too soon because the baby is getting some of the narcotics they put in there. Also be aware that you will still feel pain/pressure if they do it right - that's a good thing because you will be able to push better. By the time I was pushing I could feel the contractions well and was able to push efficiently. My legs were not numb at all and I could get up almost immediately after.[/quote]
