[quote=Anonymous][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] Not necessary to wait until 4 cm. I'm the OP. I got my epi with baby #1 at 2 cm. I was having back labor and could not tolerate it.[/quote] Maybe not necessary, but your c/s risk doubles if you don't wait. Lots of good info about the risks here: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1481670/[/quote]
