[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had two c-sections. The second one was at a teaching hospital (GW here in DC), and the resident putting in the epidural was new and fumbling. I WISH I had the presence of mind to request someone else. In the end, it all turned out fine, but I was terrified that something would go wrong. (Later, I was told that the meds that help you feel less nauseous that they give you via the epidural may cause paranoia, so that may have been part of it.)[/quote] Mine was not at GW, but I also had a resident for the epidural and she did not believe me when I said I feel everything. She reluctantly did something to test and, sure enough, the first epidural didn't work. She also told me she'd only try one more time and then I'd have to have general anesthesia, but I insisted on speaking to another doctor. He did it right, I felt nothing, and saw my daughter being born. Don't be afraid to speak up. [/quote]
