In this episode I talk about how 80% of pregnant persons report wanting to have an unmedicated birth in the US, yet 60-90% get an epidural (state dependent stats). So, even if an epidural isn't on your birth plan, you need to know about epidurals just in case you have a change of plans. If you are planning on one anyway, this is a quick guide. You can get more information on epidurals in my full epidural guide at BirthStory.com.

One thing I forgot to mention in this episode, is that you will need several vials of blood drawn for a full CBC and platelet count before getting an epidural. That usually takes at least an hour for results to return.

Presales for Birth Story Academy are happening now. Enjoy 50% off between 12/1 and 2/1 by ordering the course in advance for $99 using code BIRTHSTORYPODCAST.
