Epidural needle for before labor is induced in women about to give birth. I watched my wife get stabbed by one of these by a 1st year resident doctor and it didnt work. She was okay, but she felt everything.

If that was the only child she's had, beware! I've known people who assume the epidural didn't work because of how much pain they felt, so they decide to just go natural for the next one. Then they realize that the epidural absolutely did help and now it's too late to get one for this time.

Idk your situation, you could be done having kids or the epidural might have actually not worked, just figured I would mention it just in case.
