    Your tummy getting hard every 5minutes? Do they last for a few seconds or up to a minute? True contractions are close like that but the pain moves towards your back and lasts up to a minute. Normal for me to have a few BH every day but they don't hurt. I'm 35.5 weeks. As for the epi..had one with my 3rd child and nope did not hurt me at all. Some woman will say it did.

    As for the epi, I look at it as im going to be in so much pain anyway I probably wont feel it. :)

    the epi doesnt hurt persay.. I would say the initial shot they give you to numb the area feels like a bee sting and then when they get the epi in you feel this intense pressure filling into your body. I wouldnt say it is painful, but it is uncomfortable at least when they put it in after that if they did it right you wont feel too much anyways....

    The epidural does not hurt, the contrations hurt way more that you just want it in and you dont care about the little needle pain!
