My symptoms nowdays are quite mild. Much better than before baby. Some days it seems like my blood pressure spikes up and I get a little anxiety. Nowhere near as bad as it used to be. My vision gets mildly distorted still at times, and I get that off-balance feeling. Maybe someday I'll be able to forget about this whole thing.
I had to be induced for all 3 of my babies because none of them were willing to come out on their own. The pitocin makes the contractions stronger and more painful. Couldn't have made it without the epidural. This last time the anesthesiologist was a magician, it was wonderful. I could feel everything, my legs, the skin on my stomach, just not the contractions.
