does the epidermal hurt?

Question

Answer 1

It's the worst pain you can imagine.

Answer 2

I hear ya on the hating getting shots. I had to get to IV's put in (the first one fell out) and the first one took an hour for me to let them do it, and the second one 45 minutes. By the time I got my epidural, I was thinking that I was going to die because of another needle stick, but NOPE. I did just fine.

Let me put it to you this way, every woman has different pain tolerances and reactions to everything. It hurts some women, other's aren't affected by it. I personally never felt the needle stick or the pressure from whatever was going in. But I *CAN* give you this piece of advice that should be very helpful...

When you get the epidural, have it done while you are sitting up. When you're lying on your side curled in a ball, it creates some pressure on your hips and it is VERY uncomfortable, and you'll start to panic. You just have to sit there, lower your head, relax your shoulders, and lean forward. If you have a contraction, BREATHE slowly and think calm thoughts. I had three good contractions during it and I concentrated on breathing, next thing I know I was allowed to lay back down and 5 mins later I was NUMB and was able to enjoy the rest of the labor.

Hope that helps ya :)

Answer 3

No it doesn't hurt. It is a mild stinging feeling and it's over real fast. You'll be in pain from the birth and it's a good feeling. Don't worry

What they do....They have you sit up and bend over a pillow just a little. They put some cleaner on your back. Then a shot to numb your back so they can put the needle in. You feel the shot a little and then after that it's nothing. You got to be still as they do it. But it really wasn't that bad.

Answer 4

it does. they take this needle and stick it in your back, and it does hurt, but it hurts Way less than labor does, and you'll be screaming for it. be careful though, not to move when they tell you not to move, cuz I jumped, and they got the epidural in the wrong spot, and it only numbed half of my body, and they had to give me more to stop the pain, and they gave me too much, and the baby's heart rate started to drop, so they had to give me an emergency c-section. the girl above me isn't talking about an epidural, she is talking about an episiotomy, which is when they make a small snip down there so that you don't tear, because if you rip jagged it won't heal right. they sew you back up afterwards, good as (or better than) new.an epidural is a shot, just like you said.

Answer 5

It's an epidural. And they gave me a shot on the leg about 10 minutes before the epidural. Well the painkiller shot in the leg was WAY ******* worse. It doesn't hurt, but you have to hold perfectly still for a long time, u feel a pinch, then it feels like a thread going into your back. Afterward you can't walk for about 5 hours, and it only numbed me on one side, my entire left side of my abdomen was in horrible pain whenever I got a contraction (and no it didn't wear off, I was only in labor for 40 minutes)

Answer 6

The worst is on the very initiating while they inject the numbing medicine into your dermis. that's slightly poke and a burning sensation that lasts approximately 10 seconds on the main. After that, the main you experience is tension and in line with probability a lifeless aching feeling as they slide interior the epidural catheter (tube) and inject the medicine. particularly circumstances you additionally can experience slightly electric powered marvel sensation, like once you hit your humorous bone, besides the shown fact that that's without postpone long gone, and it is not a foul element - it fairly is common to experience via fact the catheter slides previous nerves. I fairly have never heard of everyone ever being paralyzed. there's a danger for various stages of nerve harm, as easy as in line with probability feeling a lifeless soreness for some days or perhaps weeks, or you've gotten lingering numbness or soreness, yet those kinds of long-term injuries are fairly uncommon (under a million in 2 hundred,000). communicate on your universal practitioner and characteristic a consultation with the anesthesia team to have all your questions spoke back intimately. stable success!

Answer 7

after having contractions every 5 mins for 24 hours, it didnt bother me at all to have a tiny pinch in my back followed by some pressure. first they will have to give you an iv, which hurt more than the epidural because they couldnt get it in any of my veins and they had to stick me like 7 times. then they will inject a numbing agent into your back with a tiny needle, after that all you feel is pressure, not pain, and a few minutes later, you will feel better that you probably ever felt because you will finally not feel any more contractions. oh yea, and it started to wear off by the time the babys head was coming out so make sure that doesnt happen to you, because that was the worse pain i ever felt in my life.

Answer 8

1st of all I would not recommend it. Regardless of what your doctors say it complicates a healthy labor. I have given birth with an epidural and also completely natural and prefer without the drugs. But if you must have one. Insist that a resident is not putting in you epidural. He can practice on the guy down the hall with the hip replacement. You want the most qualified doctor. I have heard horrible stories of misplaced epidurals. I say take your birth one contraction at a time it may not be as bad as you think. Believe it or not your fear and tensing during birth is what makes it sooo unbearable. If you can breath and relax you can make it thru and not regret it

Answer 9

Trust me it will hurt more if you don't!! All you feel is a little pop...... and then nothing, and then a darn good numbness overwhelms your body and that is the whole point of not feeling anything. Now I can say it hurt after 3yrs and I feel exactly where they put the needle. So it's your choice but there was no way I could stand the pain of feeling 10,000 little men with machdy's running around my body Lol.

Answer 10

When your water breaks... and you start feeling all that pain... trust me.. the needle will not even phase you. Trust me.. I hate needles

When I would have my blood drawn I made them use a butterfly needle so it wouldnt hurt as bad..

I had an epidoral and They would not show me the needle. I had to sit straight up and not flinch. I was in so much pain I was waiting for the needle!! I barely felt it honestly and then I was numb!

Answer 11

with mine, they gave me a shallow shot to numb the area of my spine they needed to give me the shots in, then gave me two different shots of pain relievers - an instant one - and one that would last 24 hours. after five minutes i couldnt feel my butt or my legs it was great (feeling returns in legs after you deliver).... as far as the shots hurting go, it didn't bother me at all. by the time i could have them i was in so much pain i would have welcomed someone sticking a three foot needle in me if that's what it took to make it stop!!!! oh and by the way, i could still feel the urge to push when i was having the contractions, and i was still able to push well to deliver my child. but it didn't hurt at all!
