Epidural pain

I gave birth 9 months ago and my back still hurt where they injected the epidural! Now I’m pregnant again and I’m worried how I’m gonna deliver my next baby and if they going to inject in the same place! Also I wanna know if anyone else is suffering from the same pain

I had pain from my second epidural that lasted 8 years. After that experience, I went all natural with a midwife at home for my next 3. Natural birth was so much less pain than what the hospital put me through with my first two. The first thought I had after birthing my 3rd born (first homebirth) was "I want to do this again!" It was an amazing experience. Edit to add: it's totally possible to go 100% natural in a hospital as well if you have a midwife or doula to field the nurses and doctors. Do what makes you feel safe. I no longer feel safe in a hospital setting.

I had an amazing epidural experience so I have no advice. I'm so sorry you are suffering. It is crazy that it still hurts.

Going natural is so scary lol

@Lana what I learned after going through both is that it's the other way around ❤️ if you're interested or even considering, I can send you all sorts of resources but start with watching the documentary the Business of Being Born.
