You might have a strong opinion on whether you do or don't want an epidural - but you can't make a truly informed choice about it if you don't have all of the information. In this episode, I cover in-depth what exactly an epidural is, what the insertion process looks like, how it works, and the risks and benefits. Epidurals work most of the time, but everyone's nightmare is an ineffective epidural. That doesn't mean you're doomed though. I teach you about common problems and how to troubleshoot because a lot of times you can fix them. Plus, I answer some common questions that come up and workarounds for those who have a contraindication for an epidural.    Learn all about the new Yoledet Community here.
