Princess it is painful and I had no choice.. Will not take epi but still wanted my pethidine jab. I really went hysterical... And cos dilate so fast, very painful but was quickly over. Cos when wanna push can't use gas mask also, only way to end the pain is follow instructions and push baby out. Thanks to hubby, midwives n dr, very fast was over... So listen to instructions very impt [IMG=http://www.singaporemotherhood.com/forumboard/clipart/happy.gif]
The good thing abt no epi is I was moving abt right after delivery. Had a friend quite unlucky, took epi but still pain so they gave higher dose but she still feel pain, end up legs numb for next few days and not getting pain relief.
