center for the next four. The hospital and epidural experience was terrible for her. Once she got the epidural, she could not open her eyes or speak, but she could still feel the pain. The whole ordeal was terrible. The dr's said they had it all figured out with her, so we went back for the second. Repeat of first time. Whole thing was awful. I have no issue with women using hospitals and epidurals, but it is not for everyone.
