Hold up - why would tattoos prevent you from getting an epidural? I haven’t got any, and I thought you couldn’t get an MRI with them? But an epidural?

Also, some of you are cold b’s. My induced for PROM VBAC was an insane nightmare until I got an epidural. That wasn’t discomfort, that was me wondering if I could bust through a window and leap to my death on 23rd St. I would have requested a c-section if I was epidural ineligible. And I get that there are medical conditions that prevent epidural - there are threads on here occasionally asking for moral support and suggestions how to get through without because x. (My second VBAC, also induced, was dealable without an epidural. Go figure.) I cannot believ I ever sided with the goofheads who pretend that just because childbirth is a natural process means it isn’t also medical procedure level pain.[/quote]
