Epidural Pain

Hi mommies! I am extremely afraid of needles. Wondering if the epidural injection hurt a lot? #pregnancy #1stimemom

Hi mama, just hug the laughing gas and inhaleeeeee while they give you the epidural. I am super afraid of needles and always blackout when I come in contact with needles but I felt nothing during epidural as I was high on laughing gas 🤣 The only thing I remembered was my anaesthetist telling me “Move towards me, move here, abit more. Please don’t fall off the bed 😂”

I just asked my friend about this and she said the contraction pain has overpowered the epidural pain that she didn’t even remember she had the needle before 😂

It feels like a tiny inny bite. Dont move or turn ur head or look at the needle. I'm so afraid of it that I hug the pillow and look at my husband only 😂🤣

It was a super sharp pain but only lasted for a few seconds.
