Ah sis, totoo ang epidural talaga, hindi completely gone ang sakit pero massive ang difference, parang 90% less ng intensity ng contraction! A few of us tried it and honestly, game-changer siya, kaya mo na mag-rest at mag-focus sa pushing when it's time na. May slight pressure lang and awareness ka pa rin na may nangyayari, pero ang unbearable pain talaga ay gone, which is such a relief after hours ng labor. Highly recommended, but best to discuss with your OB kung ano ang best para sa inyo, every labor experience is different e!
