That's it basically. After being quite sure I wouldn't need an epidural during my first labour I ended up having one after all other pain relief had been tried and tested.
However, epidural only worked down one side of my body and casued me more discomfort than relief as was laid flat on a bed unable to move but still feeling all pain down other half of body.
So I am 35 weeks pregnant, again I'm hoping for as natural birth as possible but am wondering if I feel like I did last time and think I want an epidural is it likely to only work down one side again?
Thanks

Epidural only worked down one side in first labour, will the same happen again?
