You've heard of epidurals—but have you really heard the whole story?

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the most common interventions in modern birth: the epidural. As a former L&D nurse and now doula and educator, I’ve seen both the relief epidurals can bring and the hidden risks that often get brushed aside. Whether you're planning a natural birth or still unsure where you stand, you deserve to make that decision fully informed—not pressured, not in the moment, not in the dark.

We'll cover:

• What actually happens when you get an epidural

• The pros (yes, there are some!) that can truly help in certain births

• The lesser-known downsides—from immobility to the cascade of interventions

• Why so many women say “I wish I had known this earlier”

No scare tactics, just real talk from someone who’s been in the hospital room, at the home birth, and in between.

If you're craving education that doesn’t leave your intuition at the door, this one’s for you.
