(Chaper 8 page100)Pain Relief Medication

When I was reading this girls experience, it was just so scary to hear how labor was for her. It rang a bell when I had read that you have options and choices about pain medications. Whether you wanted an epidural its when they give you shot on your back to make you go to sleep and not have to feel any kind of pain. To me I think that after reading these pregnant teenagers thoughts about the epidural made me think if I would consider the epidural during labor or maybe not. Its a hard decision for me because I had an aunt that had an epidural shot and as of today she faces more pain than ever. She can't carry her own kids because of the epidural shot she had done for her first baby. I'm confused but, I'm still thinking whether to get one, who knows if I might get it that's if I can't take the pain anymore. I would have to talk to my doctor about pain relief during labor. I'd rather make my choices before my labor begins. So therefore I will tell her my options and opinion about the medications.
