Epidurals During Labour

The majority of healthy pregnant women can expect the natural process of labour to result in the birth of a healthy baby without the need for many of the interventions that now form part of modern obstetrics. Epidural analgesia is now one of the most common interventions in the birth process and the most popular method of pain relief during labour in the westernised world. However the benefits of epidurals come with significant risks for the labouring woman and her baby.
