It's hard for me to tell you that an epidural is the way to go. I didn't start my own labor and had to be induced. I was 3 weeks overdue. LADIES, that I would NEVER recommend for anyone. Too many risk factors.
By the time I got into hard labor, which was instantly. When you are induced, you go from no contractions to major contractions. It was too late for the epidural to take effect. They did give it to me however, it made me physically sick to my stomach and that wasn't something I needed at the time. If you get my drift.
My daughter, Amanda, arrived safe and sound. All 9lbs 6oz of her. She looked like a one month old baby who'd been left in the maternity ward. She was so much bigger then all the other babies.
Coming to the site and asking the question is a great start to doing your homework. Once you've done your homework, you can choose what you think is best for you. Some women will want something to relieve the pain. Others will schedule a "C" section. Now there's a great topic for discussion.
My feeling is...if you can avoid the pain and it won't harm the baby. Then go for it!!
If you find some information that you thought was helpful. Will you please come back and give us the link or links or even websites that you thought were good?
Just go to the "SHARE" section. It will only take a minute and will be so helpful to so many other women.
That is how we help one another. Women helping women. One at a time.
