Comment:
First delivery at 27yrs old and was to be induced at 40wks 3days. This drug was the hardest part of my delivery. It felt like fire being inserted, I'm pretty sure I kicked the poor nurse and it only brought me from 2cm dilated to 3cm. I was in excruciating pain the entire time it was in, I finally relaxed after they started the epidural and delivered 2hrs later.

I was in horrible pain for at least 18 hours before giving birth. I ended up running a fever and begging for an epidural that I never planned on having and did not with my first child.

I do not like it has to be inserted by hand. It made me very uncomfortable and gave me a burning sensation each time. However it did what it was designed to do. I had to have it twice.
