[quote=vtgirl1993]My water broke at 2am and I got to the hospital at 6:30am. I was only 2cm upon arrival. I labored w/out meds for the next 12 hours, but couldn't get beyond 3cm. They put me on Pitocin and things started getting REALLY painful. As I knew my DD wouldn't be arriving anytime soon, I asked for the epi since I knew I needed sleep and I wouldn't be able to sleep through the pit contractions. My epi only worked 100% on one side; the other side was about 40-60%. The epi "died" several times over the 24 hours before my DD arrived, so I had to have it bumped w/ IV drugs at least 3xs. The last time it died was about 1-2 hours before she was born so I felt ALL of the transition, birth, and sewing up. Not exactly pain-free, but not so bad once DD arrived and my body flooded itself w/ happy hormones! I think I'll do it the same way this time around. I just hope the epi works 100% the entire time.[/quote]
