How typical is an epidural when giving birth the natural way?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
From what I've: seen common. Women come in with prejudice against epidurals from listening to someone. After hours of labor and being miserable they change their minds. Pain is bad for both you and your baby, studies show babies are born healthier with epidurals
