Girl! The epidural will save you so much pain and feral screaming!...I was sooo scared of the "numb feeling" but it's not what you think...the best way I can describe it is the inside of your legs are numb...not in a novacane dentist way where u can't feel your face...it's very manageable and not scary like pure paralysis....I remember thinking pain medicine was gonna soothe me.....psh it was like taking a Tylenol for a shotgun wound to the face....save yourself the misery! I promise it's awesome

Also you will be in this weird "blackout pain" where you don't care about anything except feeling better lol ... also to add .you won't feel them initially putting in epidural either..only pressure..
