[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I understand they won't give you an epidural till you are at least 4 cm dilated but what is the difference between that and effaced?
And why do some women say the epidural didn't work? Is that possible in today's day and age where these things are all pretty set?[/quote]

I am the PP who said that I was frozen in pain at 1.5. Baby was not in a good position (I think it was back labor, and I ended up having a C-section after getting to 10cm and pushing for 3 hours.)

It is definitely possible. The epidural was literally the most amazing feeling on earth after being in so much pain, but I didn't press my button regularly enough and it began to wear off, and then it took another 45 effing minutes for the doc to come back and re-up it. It was pretty terrifying (and terribly painful) to realize that your epi is wearing off as you are pushing, and that there is nothing anyone can do to help you.

Even knowing that this is a possibility, I would get an epidural again, hands down. [/quote]
