As the began to put the epidural in i began having a contraction...it lasted for about a minute...and then i said ok i am sorry, im ready...they laughed and said it was already in. I didnt feel nothing. When your in intense labor..anything feels better than contractions :)

When you`re in so much pain from contractions that you need an epidural, you can`t feel anything but the pain from the contraction.

Oh I felt EVERYTHING...I dont know what pressure is to you, but it hurt like hell. Then within 10 mins it all went away because the epi kicked in.

I had REALLY bad chills from some medication they gave me so I had a hard time with getting it. I don`t know if it was because I couldn`t get still or it just normally hurts. Make sure you`re still for sure!!

I don`t remember being numbed first, but by the time the anesthesiologist comes around, you`re fairly overwhelmed and not too into the details. The moment of insertion would be one of those details. I remember being told to lean over the nurse, like a big hug, bending forward somewhat. I remember flinching a bit when the needle went in--I`d have flinched at anything by then. It wasn`t pain exactly, just more excess stimulation, which seems to come from all angles at that point! I remember the nurse telling me to try *not* to flinch so the doc could do his job right back there, and then I remember saying over an over, `Okay, I`m trying, I`m trying...` and then I remember getting the little tube from the IV taped all the way down my back so the needle wouldn`t move and then I lied back and everything was ok for hours and hours and hours.

after the hard contractions i had been having- i think they could have punched me and i wouldn`t have felt the pain lol. no, but really, i didn`t feel anything but pressure- acutally it was really strange- almost like it tickled or something.
