Walking epidural experiances
Hello all, I’m looking to hear about your experience getting the walking epidural. My hospital told me about it and I’m interested in how it made things feel for you 😊

I've never heard of this either.
@Jennifer I hear some hospitals don’t do it and some do! Mine does it and they said it covers about 90% of the pain and you are able to feel more of the pressure and you can move around in different birthing position, so it can help with pushing
I heard from a labor and delivery nurse that it’s a smaller dose of the same thing but you’re able to move around and still feel a bit. It starts fully numbing you and then wears off a bit and will slowly drip the medicine. If at any point you want to increase, they just increase the rate of the drip and don’t have to re-do all the insertion bits, so you’re ready to go. I’m thinking about doing this too.
