starry,
i chose epi cos i wanted to witness the birth of my gal. everything happened real fast, think less than 5mins after i was being administered epi, i heard my gynae (woody) telling my hb, quick take photo (of woody w my gal).
then i hear bb cries, was feeling numb fr chest down & a little dazed but i was thinking to myself, how come so fast, i imagined that they are still cutting the layers of fats etc. lol.
i also read that epi has less side-effects than GA. not sure how true. i was able to get off bed & walk all ard by the next day (did take painkillers though).
