Epidural: Yes or No

Facing the reality of labor is really scary. You will have mixed feeling of anger, confused, scared, honestly! don't know what to expect. Well, let me share my experience..Recently, I had my 5th baby on the 16th of November. The first 3, I did not take epi..because my husband said not too. We have been told that there will be lots of unwanted consequences after epi. However, during my fourth child, I was so scared of going through the labor pain so I decided to take epi. It was worth it! It takes away 80% of the pain and help shorten the labor hours. TIPS: Do not move during the procedure! I took epi during my 5th child as well. Alhamdulillah, it was ok. In fact my recent experience was painless! I did not felt any labor pain at all. It was not because of epi ( as far as I know, epi does not take away 100% of pain, the most 90%) Perhaps, because of the Vitamin C (LysinC) that I took has some benefits that contributed towards this painless experience. However, I was so grateful that God had given me 5 precious child!
