2nd Pregnancy

As much as I know I should be strong, but I'm still a human and I still have slight trauma of giving birth to my 1st in 2023. I took epidural last minute when the pain was unbearable although i tried to avoid it (also because I heard and have relatives who had bad experiences with epi). So now that I'm expecting my 2nd, my colleague told me better to take epi again since I've took it before and had no side effects. But, i'm still worried. May I know what are yall experiences, for those who have 2nd child and above? How was your delivery experiences and is it better to go ahead with epidual again? #Second_Baby

For my first 19 years ago i took epidural as i really cannot take the pain and in labour about 8hrs but for that 19 years i still have the side effect for using the epidural.. As for the 2nd child 17 years ago this boy had pass his EDD n i had to stay in hospital frm 6 april till 13 april 😅 this one i didnt use any epidural at all and it is super painful eventho the nurse gave me the gas to breath in still painful i pass out couple of time also 🤣 but again after all of the experience right it totally worth it and now im pregnant for my 3rd after many² years and this time im not sure how will it be.. i wish u all the best for yr 2nd baby oh yeah it u cant take the pain i suggest u go for gas rather den epidural coz alot of my friends take epi and they said the side effect is much more different when u had the 1st epidural..
