Had an Epidural....number 3

What is an Epidural injection?

During an epidural injection, lidocaine (a numbing medicine) and cortisone (a very strong anti-inflammatory medication) are injected into the epidural space, or spinal canal, for relief of pain. The injection is performed by a physician using fluoroscopy (X-ray) to guide the needle and medication placement. The procedure takes 15-30 minutes, with the total appointment lasting 1 ½ to 2 hours. The epidural injections can help back and leg pain by reducing or resolving inflammation in the epidural space (spinal canal).

Bu**er me it's sore...at the moment i'm sort of leaning sideways, can't sit down properly...anyone else like to share my suffering.....

If you have a 10lb baby you'll wish you'd had one.

If you have a 10lb baby you'll wish you'd had one.

[sonic]

My wife gave birth to a 10lb 5oz baby without one, she wished she'd had one.

 

[pixieness]

I feel slightly ill. Epidurals. Urgh... get well soon matey!

 

[Micra 110]

There is no pain at the time as the last 2 times i've asked to get knocked out...:laugh:

It can be worse for people who havn't got much meat on themselves...if you know what i mean... so basically the bigger you are the less it's supposed to hurt....

....that's a big baby Sonic...were you in the papers? I'm sure i read something somewhere...

Having babys can't be that hard can it?

 

[sonic]

No she wasn't in the papers, but every nurse and midwife in the hospital came to look at "the huge baby" over the following 3 days, as for it not being hard, 18 hours labour and 1 1/2 hours being stitched up after the birth because of skin tearing apart, yeah I'd say it was a hard time for her.
