ANyone had an epidural 4 times in a row?

1

moms, has anyone had any epidural 4 times in a row? I may be due for a 4th bb, but I have a 3 and 2 yr and 5ms baby. all three I had an epidural. but I’m so scared of having a 4th birth with an epidural most likely a scheduled c section , my 3rd was an emergency c section. is there any other ways to ease the pain other than having to have an epidural? im afraid I’ll get paralyzed or injection my body with so much

It’ll be fine… tell your nurse and doc that you’re worried.
They won’t put you to sleep unless it’s absolutely necessary… the procedure isn’t that long at all. They prefer to keep us awake to monitor us.

I didn’t quite have four in a row, but I had one with all four, I have a 7yr, 6yr, 3yr, and 4mnth. I didn’t have any issues.

I had spinal for section as had 2 failed epidurals. Was 1st section but awake all OK. I’ve bad back but prefer you been awake anyway

Well if you have to have a c section I don’t think you could do it without. I would imagine feeling a surgery is painful
