This is Devin and I reaping the benefits of an epidural. I was shaking uncontrollably so my mom kept adding blankets to my bed. After they gave me the epidural they made me lay on my side. When I switched to my other side the baby's heartbeat would slow down so they made me stay on my left side and wear an oxygen mask (to help the heartbeat stabilize) I was on my left side for 5 hours...
