Reason #101 women should get an epidural:

Even though it is your 3rd baby and you are a tiny lady, your labor could still be long because you elected for induction and you could end up pushing for over 2 hours to find that your baby is OP (upside down) and 9 lbs 8 oz.

Oh my goodness ... I love epidurals!

I totally agree -- I have countless stories of women begging for the epidural right as she goes to complete or as the baby is crowning. You just never know what's going to happen. :) How are you liking L&D so far?

Bytheway - I love the Labor and Delivery Nurses Only! link you have. I went through and read them all a while ago and they are so funny! L&D is a happenin place to work.

Ouch! I'm jealous of your job, hopefully someday I can try that out. Your house looks great!

I couldn't agree more!!! these ladies that don't get epidurals i think are just plain crazy!!!! i joke with the girls here that I have my epidural consent signed and ready to go, and if for some reason I become unconscious they should act on my behalf and elect to get one for me!!!!
