So I had my daughter Friday. Got the epidural. And it only worked on my right side. Needless to say I screamed pushing her out. Drs exact words "shut up & push" anyone else have this happen?? It worked perfect with my son.
were you laying on your side for a while before pushing? The epi works with gravity so if I lay on one side or the other the opposite with regain it's feeling until you last on titer back for a while.
In my case, my babies heartrate was decelerating if I was not on my side after my epi. In order for my epi to still be effective, They changed me sides about every hour or so.
Ok I understand the side to side thing with the epi, but I had the same thing happen to me with mmy first epi... and I was on my back not on my sides. It effects people differently like it works for some people and it doesn't work for others. I couldn't tell you if mine worked this time because I was 8cm when they gave me my epi and by the time they were done I was pushing a few minutes later and I'm thinking I could have gone without
