[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I understand they won't give you an epidural till you are at least 4 cm dilated but what is the difference between that and effaced? And why do some women say the epidural didn't work? Is that possible in today's day and age where these things are all pretty set?[/quote] Epidurals have a significant failure rate, and they have significant rates of serious side effects. They are not magic. Read The Thinking Woman's Guide to Birth for thorough and accurate information. The most cruel kind of epi failure is when it only works on one side. Then you've lost all the natural pain relief, and you're stuck with one side unable to move and the other side in screaming agony. Not uncommon.[/quote]
