I will say, though, that (and you may have found this, too) my nurses were like pushers when it came to the epi. Particularly the first time. I had to tell them for hours I didn't want anything, and you just know they were thinking "I told you so" when I finally caved. And frankly, they looked pretty relieved on #2 when I said right away I was planning for it. Self-interested!

Yes, Magnus did eventually figure out that I wasn't trying to kill him when I stuck my nipple in his mouth. Seriously, that's how he reacted. Oy. This one has got to be better.
Nurses didn't push the epi with me, because I'd specifically stated in my birth plan that we knew our options and would ask. But they definitely seemed relieved when I finally did ask. They probably didn't like my moaning (because I was trying to avoid throwing up--rp, that was a big lesson learned: just go ahead and throw up) any more than the grandmas did.
