[QUOTE="~tMrseGM2t~, post: 2103501, member: 751396"] I'm just wondering if anyone else who received an epidural if it helped speed up labor? With my first daughter I was induced at around 37 weeks and after like 22 hours was only to 4 cm. They gave me an epidural and she was born 2 hours later. With my second daughter I was induced at 35 weeks and after about 39 hours of labor I was stuck at 4cm (again) then I finally asked for an epidural and seriously within an hour I was at 10 cm, pushed 2 or 3 times and she was born! I think it was because I was able to relax and just let things happen? Did anyone else have an experience like this? Stories please mommies! :) thx! <3 yeah I had been on pitocin the whole time as both were induced labors... they gave me the epidural (numb from the bottom of your ribcage down) in the last 2 hours and 1 hour of labor... it helped speed it up I think because I wasn't fighting it the whole time. Pitocin is not much fun...lol! :) @ Rurouni - you are my hero girl!!!! That's a long butt time to be in labor!!!!!! :P [/QUOTE]
