I have a lower back tattoo. It's pretty big. And my baby daddys mom says that i won't be able to have an epidural (spell check) because of it! Does anyone know about this?
Thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard. The anesthesiologist knows where to place the epidural based on feel anyway. I don't see any other reason why a tattoo would interfere. How weird.
Okay great! I got it three years ago. I don't want one but just in case it's unbearable I need to be able say shoot me up! I have my appointment tomorrow I'll have to remember to ask her!
Its not true at all hun, unless the tattoo is fresh, it wont cause any harm. If you think about it, you wouldn't even be ale to be awake during a c-section if you needed one if this was true because they give you an epidural/spinal.
Well I hope that doesn't matter because I have a lower back tatto and I will deff need an epidural, natural birth is not in my plans! I think I will curse my doc out if they can't do it, I've had mine for 6 years now.
She said that too last night! Then she says hell maybe they will stick you in your hip. I think she just wants me to have her natural since she's had all of hers natural! Including my ten pound baby daddy
I dont have a tat on my back although when I was getting one with my first, my anesthesiologist told me its a good thing I dont have a lower back tattoo because he wouldnt had been able to administer the epideral, he said alot of women come in wanting an epideral who cant get it because of there tattoo, for that main reason I have never gotten a tattoo there till this day! It has nothing to do with ur doctors ladies, they dont give u the epideral, therefore its not up to them, so theres no point in asking ur doc, but it seems it depends on who you get? Try going to the hospital and speaking with the anesthesiologist your self, I think thats the only way to know for sure
Epiderals can be dangerous as it is! I mean they make you sign a rights waiver or whatever its called, that basically means you can't sue, shall u become paralyzed from it. Obviously its not common, but all it takes is one wrong move for a mistake to happen, even the best, after all were only human and mistakes happen. I swear my back pain I have from time to time is from the epideral I got 5yrs ago. Its just a risk you are taking period. Weather u have a tattoo or not, you can have problems from an epideral
