Aww... when you are in labor, the last thing you are worried about is the size of the needle, all you care about is making the intense pain stop! And once that epi kicks in, it's like Heaven!!! Labor pains give you no time to worry about anything else.

By then you're in so much pain that a needle in your spine is nothing if it will take some of it away. /per every female I've spoken to about it Its the best thing very invented when you're in labor. Yes thank you for me!

The labor pains is far worse than a freaking needle.

Labor pains give you no time to worry about anything else. Yeah, I suppose you're right. But my mom made it twice with no meds so hopefully I'd be ok, too. We'll see.

With my second kid, however, some of the fluid leaked while I was getting it and I got the worst headache you can ever imagine for an entire week. Now I'm skeptical about whether or not I'd ever get another one.

Her head would just droop down. The doctor said that she could either wait and it would get better in 3 weeks, or they could do a reverse epidural and draw fluid from the spine, and she did that.

I'm pretty sure I would have killed myself without it I was terrified though since my mom had two bad experiences with it. With my brother she got extremely sick and was throwing up the entire time she was having the baby. With my sister (c-section) the stupid doctor didn't give her enough so when they started cutting her stomach she felt every single thing. She started screaming and freaking out so much they had to knock her out. I ended up seeing my sister before my mom did because she was still knocked out for a good hour after she was born.
