[quote=Anonymous]I didn't read the article but would note women occasionally die from epidurals too. Sometimes there is a weird reaction or sometimes an epidural is placed too high and stops the woman's breathing. That doesn't mean women shouldn't receive epidurals, just that there are risks with all decisions. Regarding Fentanyl, my MW gave me some. Baby #3 had a weird position so I was in protracted early labor, stuck at 3cm with a broken amniotic sack and just generally hating life. I didn't really need it and I regret having it. It was supposed to help me relax but they gave it to me when they hooked up the Pitocin so at the point it was wearing off, the contractions became super intense. Baby was born an hour later. They are supposed to avoid giving it close to the actual birth because it effects the baby but no one expected me to spend 13 hrs at 3cm and then give birth an hour later. [/quote]
