To do or not to do.

My friends & family discourage me taking epidural. Like others mentioned, we thought we could handle the pain but.. hahahah.. No😅 After my water bag burst, the contractions was super painful. I tahan for 30mins & that gas was hopeless. Make me high but not helping with the pain. I opted for epidural, side effect i shiver non stop. But i never regret, it was the best decision i have ever make in my life. I can sleep, i can use hp.. i can take selfie..😜 Getting stitched were pain free.. Everything were very smooth with epidural. if they were to say in a long run you will have back ache due to epidural, the answer is no. All mothers will experience back ache. Listen to what your body wants okay?☺️☺️
