Had 2 epidurals and would have another.
Had one very late in labour and definitely wish I did it sooner!
Had my late because I was so sure I didn’t want one, mainly because of the side effects I had heard about yet I soo wish I would’ve just had it at the beginning. I’m 4 months pp and I still remember how bad the contractions were (ofc everyone is different tho!) and next time I’m deffo not putting myself thru that again. I kept going on to the person who put my epidural in that I was scared about the side effects and there was such a small chance n I’m perfectly fine xx

I had an epidural and went to sleep until they woke me up to tell me to get ready to push soon 😂😂
