That is why I shouldn't blog at midnight. :) And yes Jennae, epidurals aren't for everyone - but for me it was needed and very welcome. I wouldn't hesitate to have one again. Congratulations on your wonderful birth experience. Mine was great too - just a tad more stressful than we had imagined. Once that baby is on your chest everything else just melts.

My own daughter was born 2 days late, and like you, I decided on the day that I found out I was pregnant that I wanted an epidural, because I KNOW my tolerance for pain is low. Thanks to an epidural before my contractions become completely unbearable (I lasted about 10 hours with light to moderate contractions), I had a birth experience that was wonderful for me and my family. It took a little extra pushing since I couldn't feel a whole lot by the time the moment of truth came (though I felt pretty much everything in the final stretch), I wouldn't have had it any other way.
