Epidural

Hi mommies. Can i check what's the difference between on demand epidural and the epidural doctor will inject at the back? Recently, my friend just gave birth and she opt for the on demand epidural during 8cm dilation. I though after 7cm dilation, not possible to get epidural. Can any experienced mommy clarify on that? Thank you.

I strongly suggest you to get epidural the moment you check in. Trust me before it’s too late. Hahah.. the only regret you will have is not asking for it. I learnt my lesson the hard way!

Hi... doctor or nurses will recommend epidural according to the situation and pain tolerance of the patient. It varies
