@KatieJayneEarl I said i was going to try without it. I did. Then i wanted it, bad. BUT i was also induced which tends to make it much harder to go without the epi. I personally had a good experience with it and progressed quickly once i had it. And no lasting side effects at 16mo postpartum
My son is sick so his voice is all congested-sounding and he asked me for crepes for breakfast. So I googled a crepe recipe, made a crepe even though I never have before. Put it down in front of him and he was like “these are grapes?” He just wanted some grapes.
