An epidural injection in labor is a common choice for pain relief for many women. An epidural birth is a very common birth. When choosing between a epidural birth vs natural birth you might want to consider the side effect of an epidural procedure. The most common side effect is a lowering of blood pressure quickly after the placement of the epidural needle and epidural anesthesia medication. In order to reduce the risk of this side effect of the epidural, IV fluids are usually given prior to the placement of the epidural.

One common question is whether the epidural needle stays in place during labor. The epidural needle does not stay in your back, instead a flexible epidural catether stays in place and pain medicine is continuously infused to provide relief throughout labor.

Another common question is whether the epidural has an effect on the baby. The epidural medication does not cross the placenta and research shows that it does not have a negative effect on the baby.

I don’t agree. Sometimes it becomes to late and the doctors will not risk giving you the medication due to the baby

The moment the Dr and nurses tell me the baby will be here that day, I request the epidural. i have to wait until they get lab results until I can get the epidural which may take awhile.

I asked for pain medication during my natural labor because I didn't want an epidural and they told me it's too late because I was already 9cm.... I'm in America. I think they did that just to mess with me because they bullied me during my hospital stay and labor.
