All of my labors except the last one (there...Ouch. All of my labors except the last one (there were four) required multiple attempts to position the epidural (I have small spinal spaces). Getting the epidural for me was the worst part of labor EVERY TIME. But the relief from the pain I would've felt made it worth it.<BR/><BR/>Your guy sounds like a prick. My third pregnancy, the anesthesiologist put the epidural in wrong, and another one came in to fix it. He was surly and miserable, but AMAZING at putting in the epidural. I actually requested him for my last labor. Unfortunately, he wasn't on call, but I got someone just as good AND nicer.<BR/><BR/>Can't wait for the next installment...emailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653316423608779303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-37863673277464509212008-02-08T15:01:00.000-05:002008-02-08T15:01:00.000-05:00Eeek, I had an epidural at the peak of labor, and ...Eeek, I had an epidural at the peak of labor, and the guy missed.... because I said "That feels funny" and with the panick you never want to hear in someone's voice least of all a medical professional "WHAT DO YOU FEEL?" Umm, ticking down my spine.<BR/><BR/>Ripped out the epidural and pumps my own vial of blood back into my back, tells the nurse <BR/>"We're going to have to do a spinal on this one" <BR/><BR/>Yeah, "NO WE ARE NOT" I shouted. "Forget it" I don't want anything.<BR/><BR/>At that, I sat up and had the urge to push. Out she came 5 mins later.Moments Of Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07125803464469304079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-41099578987464151102008-02-07T14:47:00.000-05:002008-02-07T14:47:00.000-05:00Just so you know, I had FOUR FAILED epidurals.

AND HE WAS A JERK . . . he also didn't do the epidural right and resented it every time I kept asking for him to come back and fix it. When he removed the "treatment" that never worked, he RIPPED it out of my back and wordlessly stomped out of the room. I think we had the same Doctor Turdface.<BR/><BR/>I also hope he gets a botched vasectomy.KGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10236206776336550381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17779098.post-13564950616955352192008-02-07T11:06:00.000-05:002008-02-07T11:06:00.000-05:00Oh sorry, I too had a lovely one, he is one of the...Oh sorry, I too had a lovely one, he is one of the only things I remember.

My ligaments were so loose he couldn't feel where to place it, so after the second time we left it in and hoped it would start working, which it didn't. Nothing like being stuck in one position laboring because of the epidural hooked up to you that ISN'T WORKING.
