I recently sat down with  anesthesiologist, Dr. Hardave Gill to ask some of your questions about epidurals.

As a physical therapist, my focus is on helping women feel better connected with their body in order to help you feel in control during your birth.
Here is what we covered:

• Is epidural use on the rise?
• What would make a labouring mom NOT a candidate
• The details around 'walking epidurals'
• What are the risks of epidural?
• How long does it take for pain relief?
• What does the prep look like?

and the most important question I asked Dave:

"Would YOU choose an epidural"

I LOVED his answer.

Dr. Hardave Gill is a Royal College of Physicians of Canada certified Anesthesiologist. Prior to his medical training and specializing in Anesthesia, he trained and worked as a pharmacist. 
He has been serving the population of Interior Health for the past 5 years, and is a Clinical Professor for the department of Anesthesiology, Pharmacology, and Therapeutics at the University of British Columbia.
