Advantages: pain disappears, so much more comfortable

Disadvantages: i have heard it can go wrong but ive not experienced it or know anyone that has

We talked throuhg pain relief with my consultant however i was told regardless of choice unless i didnt an anastheatic to go to sleep i would have to have the epidural as i was giving birth to twins, and there can be many complications. Complications can result in you having to be sent for an emergency c section so it was my safest choice although i think i would have had it any way. My motto is why go through pain if theres no need to. A lot of peoplle told me the epidural really hurt when going in but to be honest i was concentrating so much on my contractions that i didnt feel any pain whatsoever. The epidural was like magic all the pain disappeared, i had to be taken to theatre anyway for them to use forceps to trun the first baby but i didnt feel a thing, i thought it was amazing. The only part i didnt like was afterwards it takes a while to wear off and i didnt like not been able to get up and see to my girls. I would definately have it again and it would be my number 1 choice.

Summary: it would be my number 1 pain relief
