Yes you can: You can get epidural anesthesia with a herniated disc. From the spine standpoint, a herniated disc does not contraindicate epidural anesthesia.

Yes: There are no danger in getting epidural anesthesia if you have herniated disk. You should worry about positioning during labor which could make herniations worse.
