I didn't like the epidural the one time I had it. But then, I got that headache from it, and a fever afterwards. It was a nightmare. Then I tore like a son of a bitch, and had to sit on a pillow for a month. On the other side, the two times I didn't have the epidural, I didn't tear at all, and I was up shopping the day I left the hospital, feeling perfectly fine.

Amazing the different experiences everyone has. My best friend swears by the epidural too.
