My Experience
Having the epidural inserted wasn’t pleasant but again did NOT hurt as much as that morphine shot. I did learn that at the point you know you are ready for the epidural, SPEAK UP right away, because you will have to get the anesthesiologist off the floor and if you wait too long, the opportunity to get one might pass, and then I would have been on my own with the doctor’s hand straight up me doing whatever she was going to be doing with Baby B (I had twins) and feeling every minute of it.
My Advice
At the point you know you are ready for the epidural, SPEAK UP right away, because you will have to get the anesthesiologist off the floor and if you wait too long, the opportunity to get one might pass.
