You guys this conversation is really going in a direction I was not expecting.

I'm sure it will hurt like hell, but labor won't last forever and I'm sure once I finally see her the pain will be the farthest thing from my mind. Someone needs to turn up the volume on this woman. Yeah my sis in law has had 4 and she is now a proponent of the drugs. She is done now thank goodness. My bro was fixed. |

I am a parent. Being male, I have obviously never had a need for an epidural, however, I think this thread should be relegated to the women who HAVE had them and HAVE given birth, as no amount of booksmarts will ever take the place of actual lifesmarts. Men can have them too Keith, i think 1 male poster said he had one....eitherway, its an anesthetic that numbs u from the waist down, men can be treated for back problems etc... Exactly. |

My mother was a labor and delivery nurse of 26 years. I think anyone can speak on this thread provided they explain where the knowledge was gleaned. Isn’t it up to the OP and she asked for the assistance of others.

And yet, throughout the ages, women all over the world have given birth without drugs or epidurals...try having a baby in a rice paddy...without making a sound
Just because it is natural does not make it easy. I’m for the drugs in a big way. I am also basing this on my mother’s experience of 26 years in the field. Historically labor and delivery has been one of the most dangerous undertakings a woman (or a human) could endure. *shrug* Change "historically" to "hysterically" & I might agree with ya'...but that's your story & you're stickin' to it...no need to try to change my mind... But this is a convo between two women who never gave birth...so why listen to us? I wasn’t trying to change your mind. Just explaining to you what I am basing this on and yes HISTORICALLY and MEDICALLY speaking. |

of course the first thing on the list is that God and or faith has never regrown a lost limb or given a limb to anyone not born with them God and/or faith has never answers the prayers of the amputee Evolution has not figured out how to do this either. Faith in evolution has never grown a new limb. And what’s to say that modern medicine would not be able to grow human limbs if you religious folks would stay the hell out of embryonic stem cell research. They already grew a woman a new windpipe and she does not require anti-rejection protocol. |

Right. Chimps were also used to test the levels of radiation that a human pilot could endure in the event of a nuclear assault. They trained them to use flight simulators while blasting them with radiation.

Like any other kind of medical procedure I think alot depends on the individual person and the anestheologist doing the procedure as to its outcome. I have had 5 children. With the 1st 4 I had a Demerol drip and an epidural with the last. If I had it to do over again give me the epidural every time.I felt a slight pinch at the beginning then nothing. I was up and goin to the restroom within 2 hours of delivery. I was up and walking on my own by that evening. I had him at 1pm. I would suggest you read as much good information as you can on the procedure. Question your Dr. Find out who the anestheologist are that do epidurals at the hospital where you plan to deliver. Find out how much experience they have. Then you can make an informed decision about whether you want the procedure or not. What ever you decide I wish you and the new baby good health and happiness! I hear this time and time again from women who have had the procedure. My mother is a retired RNC Labor and Delivery and she feels the epidural is the best thing yet for women to deliver more comfortably. Yes it has some risk but like you say, if the anesthesiologist is experienced then it is relatively safe. My mom feels that drugs are imperative and anything to help make the woman more comfortable is preferred. Pregnancy and birth itself is a dangerous procedure. |

Yep, anyone can have one. And then you are numb from the waist down, more or less.

They are supposed to but I’m not basing that on my personal experience. No kids here. It’s an injection into your spine I think so yes, some pain. However, compare that with childbirth.

Seriously?

I dont think humans are capable of that unless your ex was an earthworm. Although, according to the Inductor Theory, all human embryos are female until hormonally “induced” to become male.
