Epidural

Anyone who's taken epidural, was yours a one time thing where the doctor inject a dosage using a syringe at the backbone or was yours a "controlled" thing where the catheter is placed at the back and you can control how much dosage you want depending on the pain??

Hello, if i dont remember wrongly, its a one time thing, but for my case half of my body rejected the epidural and only one side of my body was feeling all the labour pain. End up i called the anesthesiologist to top up the epidural volume. Hope this helps
