Before I was given a spinal tap for
epidural--the anesthesiologist shocked me
twice. He said he needed to make sure he
would find the right spot to inject me.
I have asked other mothers about this for
years and no one seems to know anything
about this being done to anyone else. I
am concerned what the purpose of this was
and why no one else seems to know anything
about it. I am also concerned what
impact this may have had on my child. Can
anyone tell me?

I mean he made my husband and mother leave
the room. The nurse told me to hold on to
her as tight as I needed to and he
electrically shocked me a couple of times
while I sat on the edge of the bed.

That doesn't sound right to me!!! I was
in the delivery room with my aunt and also
my friend (two different hospitals and two
different anesthiologists) and I was aloud
in the room while they had the epidural
and also they didn't experience anything
like that. Sorry i'm not much help but
I have never heard of that!

asked my doctor about it though!

When I had both of my kids everyone had to
leave the room when I had my epidural but
I was never shocked or anything like
that.So I find that strange.

Ok that is odd, and I would talk to a
doctor about that ( a different one),
because I had an epideral and they did not
shock me. That sounds very suspicious.
