In this Rapid Fire Friday episode I am off-the-cuff answering questions all about epidurals in labor. As a labor and delivery nurse of over 10 years, I have a lot to say about epidurals!

In today's episode, I'll be addressing questions such as:
- 3 months PP and still have pain in my back from my epidural. Had a horrible experience. The lady had to redo my epidural 3 times.
- I know I want to get an epidural. When is the best time to get it?
-My epidrual wore off after 1.5 hrs. Got 2nd epidural and same thing. PTSD. What do I do next time?
-Can you talk about the effects of IV meds vs Epidural on baby? In a debate with a friend.
...and more!
