During labor a woman may be offered an
epidural, where a needle is inserted into
the epidural space at the end of the
spine, to numb the lower body and reduce
pain. This allows a woman to have more
energy and strength for the end stage of
labor, when it is time to push the baby
out of the birth canal.

It doesn't always take the first or even
second try. It could also stall labor.
And some women do feel enough to know when
to push so they may push longer, b/c they
can't feel what's going on. Last thing,
after you have the baby, you cannot get up
until the epi wears off and your vitals
are all good and whatever else.
*coming from a woman who didn't get the
epi b/c she was scared of one of these
things happening. Lol. And about 20
minutes after I had my baby I was cleaning
myself up in the bathroom and putting on
my own comfy clothes.
