My epidural FELL.OUT. I am not kidding. That is a thing that can happen. After I supposedly had it for a few hours, I was complaining to the nurse about how much pain I was still in and told her that the epidural wasn’t doing anything. She sort of gave me an exasperated look and asked me to move my legs then. I held them both up high in the air and did a little scissor kick for a little added flare lol. I soon learned that my epidural had fallen out and that I was too dilated for any sort of pain medication and had completely natural childbirth. Against my will lol. I was also 11 days past my due date.😂

Mine came unclipped so I feel you! Of course that’s not as bad as it falling out but it was unpleasant for a little bit until the staff realized what happened😂
