EP339: All About Epidurals

Recently, Ashley had a conversation with a fellow new-ish mom that made her realize lots of women out there don’t have the full story when it comes to childbirth and epidurals. When she asked you guys, it turned out that so many of you have really great, thoughtful questions about how epidurals work, possible complications, why they might fail, and how a pregnant woman can best advocate for herself when it comes to epidurals and childbirth. Luckily, we know someone who can help answer all of these questions and more: long-time anesthesiologist, Dr. Iaconetti (AKA, Lauren and Ashley’s dad). Of course, this episode isn’t meant to convince you whether or not you should or shouldn’t get an epidural when it comes to your own labor and delivery. We just know there are so many questions out there, and we want to share what we’ve learned with you!Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comI Don’t Get It is sponsored by Better Help.
