In my opinion mommy, hangga’t kaya na wala wag ka paepidural. Even sa research sinasabi na mas high likely ma CS ang nagpapaepidural kesa sa hindi. Unfortunately that’s what happened to me. Ininduce kasi ako (which I also regret) so hindi gradual ang progression ng contractions ko. It became too painful in a matter of minutes nashock and stress ako kaya pumayag ako paepidural with my first pregnancy. Nastress din sj baby so bumaba ang heartbeat hence the emergency CS. Hoping NOT to do the same with this second pregnancy.
