The dosage of the epidural depends on the doctor and mother as well as what medications that are actually used. As for effects on the baby there is little research done but some babies are reported as having trouble latching on to nurse. Nikki I would be interested to hear if this was true for your first daughter. Also in Nikki's comment she said that her doctor had to tell her when to push, this is also common with most women. Some women would not like this while others certainly would.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550755814987664025.post-83263477769783006782011-12-06T20:55:51.241-08:002011-12-06T20:55:51.241-08:00From a personal experience and having 3 kids.

With my son I just had the narcotics, with my first daughter I had the epideral, and because my youngest decided to come into the world so fast I had her with no epideral or pain meds. Although I am not having anymore children, if I were to have another one I would go for the epideral. I myself, didn't experience ANY side effects from the epideral. It allowed me to relax and enjoy the experience. Heck I couldn't even tell when I was having the contractions the doctor had to tell me when to push with each of the contractions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550755814987664025.post-31678321954905002092011-12-06T20:25:53.645-08:002011-12-06T20:25:53.645-08:00That is very interesting.

One question I have is how likely is it that any one of the cons will appear during or after the birth of the child?Brad Sekashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05186595323754076003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550755814987664025.post-69870116270047120742011-12-06T18:33:11.214-08:002011-12-06T18:33:11.214-08:00I agree with the increase in side effects shock.

While many of them do not seem to be detrimental to the baby in any way (which would be my primary concern), it seems that the loss of pain initially could still cause even worse complications for the mother.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550755814987664025.post-83502181447200215182011-12-06T16:38:46.450-08:002011-12-06T16:38:46.450-08:00Really good info!

Do you know how common those side effects are?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8550755814987664025.post-2070655654560551192011-12-06T12:58:46.697-08:002011-12-06T12:58:46.697-08:00I thought that this was a very interesting blog, a...I thought that this was a very interesting blog, and also a surprising one. I didn't realize that there were so many side effects that went along with getting an epidural, good and bad. I know people who have gotten the epidural during child birth, who said that they still feel pain sometimes when they move a certain way, one of them being my friends mother who who got it over 20 years ago, so I thought that was interesting. Did you happen to find any side effects that this shot could have on the child, if any?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
