Thanks, body. Nice to know we are all on the same time.<br /><br />I had excruciating back labor that felt like my muscles were being shredded. Have you ever shredded chicken or pork to make pulled barbecue or tacos or something? It felt like giant forks where shredding my muscles. It was terrible, and the shot of stadohl I got only lasted 45 minutes, didn't take much of the edge off the pain, and I was only "allowed" two of them total, no matter how long labor took.<br /><br />I was freaked out by the idea of an epidural. They put a needle WHERE? In the SPINE? Oh, that will END WELL. I also am prone to migraines and the thought of an epidural related headache/migraine was not at all appealing either. However, in the end, I had an epidural and it was amazing. I had no negative side effects, and was able to get some sleep before my C-Section (my water had broken and nothing was going progressing, and the doctor was afraid of infection, so off to surgery!).<br /><br />I had personal phobia reasons to not get an epidural, but in the end, the pain convinced me that having less pain was worth a needle in the spine (yes, I know the needle doesn't like PIERCE THE SPINAL CORD, it's an irrational phobia). I was aware that my body was at its limits and that an epidural could aid me and be good for my mental and physical health.<br /><br />I did NOT have anyone telling me face to face that an epidural would harm my child or halt labor (although I ran into a lot of that online). Strident forum posts about the eeeeevils of epidurals can be pretty compelling. They prey on fear, after all. But they aren't delivered with the authority of an instructor and it's easier to go "wait a minute" and investigate claims. If I'd had a doctor, midwife, child birth instructor, etc who'd told me that epidurals would negatively affect my baby, I might have been less likely to consent to one.<br /><br />Maybe.<br /><br />I was in a LOT of pain.Brigid Keelyhttp://www.brigidkeely.com/babynoreply@blogger.com
