Iv had two pregnancy’s with spinal numb before epidural both times. All I can say is that, everyone has a very different experience and you’ve got this.
First child- very smooth I dint really feel uneasy at all.
Second child- waah those 5 mins when they injected epidural after the spinal numb was intense. Not the pain. I just felt nauseous and wanted to puke and had to stay still and in a odd position, it was just a really rough 5 mins till I got numb till my toes and then the nausea passed
