i had a spinal headache after my epi w/ my 1st child that lasted a week and incapacitated me to the point i could barely take care of my newborn. i was prescribed percocet, but it did nothing for the pain( i am a migraine sufferer and this was worse.also--i had no idea they could do a blood patch, it was never offered .) it was so bad for me i refused the epidural at my second birth, and also for the emergency d&c that i needed following delivery...i made them put me under general anesthesia. my husband has since has a vasectomy, but if i would ever happen to get pregnant again, i will never have another epidural...a few hours of pain and good recovery is far more worth it to me than the other way around!!!!
