Question

When do the doctors stop giving epidurals?
I thought they started when you're about
5 cm and after that its too late to get
one.

Omg!! Really? Im scared now. Since im
not in labor and im already 5 cm with no
pain or any signs of going into labor what
if they don't let me go to the hospital
until its too late and I can't get an
epidural and then it becomes really
painful?

Oh wow, better get to the hospital! I'd
be terrified if I couldn't have an
epidural.

Yeah, I dont want to go to the hospital no
though cause I haven't had any pain or
anything to make me think that I am going
into labor soon. And at my last apt the
doc didn't tell me to go to the hospital,
she acted like everything was fine and she
said that I am 5 cm but she still can't
tell when i'll be having my baby.

From what I know (may not be much!) you
can get one at any point! They usually
wait and give them after 4 cm because it
can slow labor, but you can get one right
up until the end. Unless the baby is like
coming out and it wont have time to do you
any good! But if you've made it that
far...You can make it to the end!

I wouldn't worry too much if I were you.
You are 5 cm and not even having any
contractions. By the time the
contractions come, you will be pushing!!
Haha!! Sounds like you are on your way to
a fast delivery. I can only hope I am
that lucky!
