Hi,
let me first tell you that I hate needles! And I had a dream that I couldnt cope with having an epidural, although I needed one.
Just wanted to ask mums out there who have had epi's... are they really painful? Does the doc usually give you a small injection first to numb the area before inserting the big epi injection?
