A Painful Regret.... Read All Info About Epidurals Before You Decide

I had a long labour and could no longer handle the pain, that was 10 or 11 hours into labour.

I agreed to have the epidural, it slowed the contractions but did not stop the dialation. I had long and hard pushing labour.

I had no other problems until almost a year later in the same spot where the epidural was done I have non stop pain to the point were breathing makes me want to cry.

After speaking with other mothers mid-back pain is common because of nerve damage. I have not found any relief at ALL! My child is now 16 months old, I have had this problem for a total of four months.

My mom firmly did not want me to have one because she feared this would happen, I wish that I would have listened this pain is equal to or in some cases worse then contractions or labour pain!

Please read any and all information and make the best decision for you and your baby! It might be immediate gratification but long term could be a horrible decision that I now regret!
