[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't get one with my first. With my second I got one when the contractions were regular. DS was born 3 hours later.

Note that epis don't always work so be prepared to feel everything anyway.

Honestly, once I hit transition with him I thought they've turned off the epidural. I yelled at my doula WHO SHUT IT OFF.??.? She said "sorry, it's on and in the max" and I had to use all the techniques I practiced anyway LOL [/quote]

With Epi (after 20 hours of labor, attempting a non-drugged birth) I felt every contraction and ring of fire. I am so glad I prepare for a painful birth. This time I will assume EPI and will assume feeling it again.  I am reading up on natural birthing techniques and will do as much  as possible but what sucks is there is no way for an individual woman to know if she is like me and quoted poster or if she will have a normal reaction to pain meds.[/quote]

Most women who have an epidural feel considerable pain during labor, either before they get the epidural or during because it's not 100 percent effective.  They and/or their babies may also have side effects.[/quote]
