File this under would have been nice to know about a month ago. A Northwestern study released today indicates that there is no increased risk for a c-section if an epidural is started when the mother first feels pain. Yup. Like I said, would have been nice to know a month ago.

    that was the policy at the hospital where I had my son, almost 4 years ago…
    They kept bugging me to get it (I told them i wanted one at the right time) and I said that I thought I had to wait until 4 cm dialted or something and they said, no, if you’re planning on having one, it’s your choice as to when…to which i said, bring it on in here then!
