the Great Epidural Debate Posted: 07-29-05 15:56pm
I'm 38 weeks pregnant now, and ever since
I first found out i've been trying to
decide rather or not to go with an
epidural. I've heard a million different
arguements, and i'm not sure what to do.
My family all says do it, it's wonderful,
but my husbands says it causes problems
and they were all fine without it. I'm
being tugged in two different directions
because I want to try to go without one
(stupid reason- bragging rights later) but
then again if the pain turns out to be too
much I may not be able to get one in time
unless I decide to go with it from the
start.

I've never been pregnant, but I am ttc.
I think it should totally be up to you!
You are the only one who knows how you are
feeling. If you feel you need it, then
get it. If you feel you are doing ok
without it, then great. Good luck to
you!

Every person is different and has a
different pain threshold. I would say,
go for an epidural in your birth plan and
then make the choice when you get to the
point during labour. You can always say
no!!
Good luck!
