37 weeks pregnant and question about epidural?

Question

I am 37 weeks pregnant and am so ready to have this baby. Anyway, with my first, I had an epidural and everything went well. I couldn't even feel him coming out and they didn't turn down the dosage of my epidural. I'm a little scared that this time, they might turn down the amount of medicaton I'm getting b/c my muscles aren't as strong down there now and I might need to feel him coming out. What do you think?

Answer 1

turning down the meds doesnt mean you'll necessarily feel everything. You may just feel pressure and know to push. talk your fears over with your doc. good luck!

Answer 2

The best thing to do is talk to the doctor about it, if it is the same one who did the epidural last time chances are he will do it the same as last time, just talk to him.  Good luck with your baby.  God bless.
