I don’t feel like mother’s generally know all that comes with an epidural - it’s such a norm here that informed consent has gone out the window.
Hear me out: this post is to educate you, to state facts and what the research shows. I believe in informed consent and want to help encourage moms to do their research before birth to make the BEST decision for them.
I understand the benefits of them; I see why they can be a great thing too. I just want you to be educated on them.

This post focuses more on bupivacaine as I can’t fit everything in ten slides. Nor can I hit on every topic. I tried to hit on the many aspects of an epidural most women don’t know.
I encourage you to look further, talk to your provider and ASK QUESTIONS if you don’t understand.
Not medical advice.
