When it comes to birth, epidurals are a big part of the conversation – whether you're planning on getting one or just want to be informed.

Most people know that an epidural can take away labor pain…but beyond that? There's still a lot of mystery around how it all actually works!

In this episode of The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast, I'm diving into:

• How an epidural is placed (step-by-step!)

• Whether it hurts to get one

• What the needle looks like (spoiler: not as scary as you think)

• Common epidural side effects

• And yes – we're talking about walking epidurals, too!

These are your most-asked questions from my DMs, answered 💬

Whether you're team epidural, team unmedicated, or just figuring it out – you'll walk away feeling way more confident.
