Be persistant with nurses

For some reason the nurses do not want to listen to how much pain you feel you are in or they just don’t believe you. I told my nurse over and over again that I was in pain and I could feel everything and she did nothing. I told her my chest was tingly and my legs were not numb and she did nothing. I also did nothing. I was so tired from being in labor that I figured she knew what she was doing. I trusted her to see the signs of labor and I trusted her to tell me what to do. But I was wrong, when my doctor came in and sat down to deliver my baby he touched me he said get the anesthesiologist. He realized I was not numb enough for having an epidural, so why couldn't the nurse figure that one out! After talking to other women I found out that it was not normal and I should have been able to see the anesthesiologist again before my doctor came in. If you are in pain or can feel a lot of your contractions tell the nurses. If the nurses do not help you, than ask to see your doctor and get their option.
