Im sorry you had such a horrible experience with the epidurals, if thats the only reason why you dont want another child, maybe you could have a consultation with your obgyn and explain what happened with your previous pregnancies, there is an alternative, they might be able to put you completely under, its an option whether your doctor will do that , it doesent hurt to find out, I have never had a c section before, but I have had epidurals in my lower back due to an auto accident, it didnt bother me, I want another child, but due to my injuries im very nervous about making them worse, and I know if I were to become pregnant id be a prime candidate for a c section, im going for a consultation with my doctor, to find out more info, and one of the issues is being knocked out, if its that you just really dont want any more children well maybe you should have a talk with your husband. Good luck what ever happens I hope its what you want
