[quote=Anonymous]Got mine at 36 hours in (another one going for unmedicated), at 7cm dilated. Baby came 12 hours later. Honestly, the pain wasn't too hideous pre-epi, it was more the exhaustion, as a PP noted. I didn't have pitocin until three hours after the epi, because labor had stalled again. FWIW, my epidural did work to alleviate the pain and help me sleep, but wasn't so strong that I couldn't feel to push and change positions a bit during delivery. Good luck tomorrow, OP! I've also heard that those pit contractions can be intense. Oh, and PP with the short labor and anesthesiologist father: I'll donate a few hours to your next labor if you really want the joy of an epidural! ;) [/quote]
