And a spinal takes quicker affect than an epidural for a c-section anyway. Took 2 minutes to figure that out, how long did he go to school?

This was at 4 or 5 months pregnant. She transferred to a birth center and had a water birth. She figured the doctors could be uncomfortable ten miles away.

How ever if I was told this I wld tell them where they cn shove it. That is the mothers choice and ONLY the mothers. I was in labor for 26 hours w my daughter and went 16 hours w out an epidural. Even though I had it shoved down my throat since I was admited. I was 17 and the doctor didn't think I cld endure the pain as my labor progressed. He was shocked wen he found out how long I went w out it I hv nvr been told it was protocal. How ever if I was told this I wld tell them where they cn shove it.

How true. And sad.
