When the doctor explained to me what epirdual shot is like, I panicked! My husband soothed me to calm down. When the time came, I was kinda worn out and relaxed, the doctor simply inserted a needle (I didn't see what it looks like) into my tailbone. I didn't even feel anything!! I was surprised to find that out. Whew.
Second one was a piece of cake, because I knew I won't feel a thing, and it did happen again. No pain. The reason I didn't feel the pain from the needle is because I was focusing on my contractions. That is more painful than the needles. Any mothers agree with me on this?
