Epidural only worked on one side?

Means they didn’t insert it correctly

I have scoliosis, and I had that experience too. It took them almost 1.5hrs to place it, for me to feel it work on both sides (leg numbness). Of course, when I was giving birth, I couldnt feel my legs, but I felt everything else going on inside. Every birth is different I guess?

I felt it in both sides but could move my left leg around but my right side was competely gone i couldn't move it at all🫠

Yes same! I had two in case the first one was done incorrectly, but the same thing happened. Was numb on the left but could feel every damn contraction on the right side. The anaesthetist told me this happens to 1 out of every 8 patients. The pain was so bad I was given fentanyl - apparently I fell asleep so it must have been good 🤣 If the epidural doesn’t work during your next birth, you could always ask for fentanyl.

Mine didn’t work at all I had two first one wasn’t in the right place second one something went wrong so the medicine wasn’t even going into my back it was leaking the whole bed was wet I could move everything the pain in my back was agony as baby was back to back so I was stuck in one position for 15hrs until they fixed it and I could get some sleep ended up in a c section anyways

My right side went completely numb, almost painfully numb (think when your leg falls asleep and you get the painful tingles) while my left side went only slightly numb which was great since my LO decided to sit on my left hip bone all of labor 🙄
