Well  - why do ppl make either assumptions or just think they know they answers. Why write something that is going to scare someone!

When my first daughter was born I has to have an emergency C-Section as she was dying and so was I. I was not given a choice between a ep or being put to sleep. I was just knock out and that was that.

I didn't get to hear Samantha's 1st cry or give her that 1st feed. In reality she was 7 hours old before I even started waking and then I was too groggy to really take anything in! It wasn't fair! When I finally was awake enough it was to find that nearly everyone else had heald my baby buy ME!

So 7 years later when i was told another emergency C-Section was required I DEMANDED and Epidural. 

Did it hurt . .... YES!

Do i regret it . . . NO!

I got to hear Danesha's 1st cry, hold her to my breast and kiss her slimmy but gorgeous belly . . . . and i got to give her that first feed.

7 years after that Sumara was born, once again and emergancy C-Section . . . and YES it was anther Epidural.......

If Epidural were unsafe then why would they give them to women like me who had two babies that were dying inside . . . .

Epidural's are not for everyone BUT they are the answer for some.

i had an epe with my first baby and she had breathing problems when she was born because of it, it is a powerful drug, you can also stuff your spine if the needle is not inserted properly, i wish i had never had an epe, if i had done my research first and wasn't so inexperienced at the time i never would have had one
