Re: pre-baby news-epidural question

[Guest guest]

Marla,

I had an epidural with my second child, and everything was fine

UNTIL they began to stitch up the peritoneum, and I felt every

stitch! They tried to give me extra stuff through the IV and even

through a mask, but it didn't help. I asked about it afterwards,

and they said I had a " midline defect " , which they told me was a

bubble of air where the anesthetic didn't take. I didn't know I had

EDS at that time, but MY feeling is that it was related to the EDS

and locals not working well with us.

Hope this helps! Good luck, Sweetie, I'll be thinking of you and

praying for you and the babe!

Love Lana

Thanks for this info. I had an episiotomy with my first son, but

stitching it up was no problem. But I guess after giving birth

" naturally " that was no big deal. I have made sure my doc knows I want

pain meds this time. I just hope they work!
