i had a spinal block with my first c-section,and felt nothing from my breasts down and i wore off about 30mins-1 hour after the op,is that what its like with an epidural or is it weaker and does it wear off and need topping up…the spinal block worked in seconds and didnt need topping up as far as i remembered..just wondering because doc said i could have an epidural for pain relief with my second birth but if i cant feel anything how would i know when to push?(if i end up having natural birth)
