[quote=Anonymous]My water broke first, and after being up all night in labor with mild contractions, I was only at 3 cm and my OB recommended pitocin. I got the epidural about an hour after that...I could feel the pit kicking in, and the nurses told me either then or after shift change, so I went ahead and got it. I asked that it be light so it didn't numb all feeling, and they were able to do that. I felt the pressure of contractions, but not pain. It turns out I'm one of the lucky few who respond to an epidural by spiking a fever. Not fun. That was a contributing factor to my c-section that afternoon.[/quote]
