No epidural experience

Hi, yes it was painful for me. But while I was in so much pain, i regretted not taking epidural even the nurses nagged at me coz i was screaming in pain hahahaha. Yes can feel stitches. It was quite uncomfortable. After all that.. i think i would be ok without epi for my next. But really depends. To me epi is a normal thing. If u rather not go thru all the trouble of pain or ur threshold is not so good, why not? But if u think u wanna experience the pain, its also fine. And btw, even without epi, my back still ache like crazy. So yeah.
