You know that I'm going into labor soon....roughly 6 weeks out now.
I've debated this point for awhile now since my date is getting closer and closer and I've decided to go ahead and have the epidural.
My little one is currently in the breech position and if they have to do a c-section, the epidural is already there, they don't have to bother flipping me around and sitting me up and sticking it in if there turns out to be an emergency. I'd rather they do it when things are calm and they can do things right.
Plus, why be a hero? If you can get pain management....I'd go for it.
