        They say Caesarean born children have more intelligence - due to less trauma via the birth canal - I would have had to have an elective caesarean had I manufactured children small feel two and a half to three - small pelvic cavity.

        I had choice of how to give birth to my son and I said, "cut him out", didn't need labor to prove I was a woman, I was already pregnant....

        Anything injected into your spine should be carefully monitered by you!  Be careful with this numbing!

          It does not numb the whole body - medics know where to inject into the spine to numb the appropriate area and I believe as Colleen says - not  everyone responds - depends on them and the medic.

              Any thing that numbs you is probably a DRUG!

              An epidural is the administration of a drug. I have heard it works but, I don't have personal experience. I can say that giving birth the natural way hurts like the dickens. :)

              It works for some women and does not work for others. It all depends on the woman and how her body responds to it.
