Giving birth 7 times was way easier and a LOT less painful. Mine was awful, the Dr did any awful job and stuck me over and over again with no numbing meds. I got that awful headache the next day and went to the ER, they gave me a caffeine IV and than sent me home still in a little pain. The next day I was back in the ER with the worst stomach bug I have ever had, they gave me meds and sent me home. Well over the next week and a half I got 2 more stomach bugs and was in a awful amount of pain (my back and my head). So my LP was the worst 2 weeks of my life.
