what i find very frustrating about all this latest talk about  epidurals and 
c/sections, is there is NO mention of all the other side effects  of 
epidurals. so now we will have women in their 9th month of pregnancy asking  for 
epidurals.....why wait for labor to begin. 
this just makes my blood boil.  before this information  the epidural rate at 
some of the local hospitals, the north shore of long  island, was about 85%. 
i can just see it now....we are giving women permission  to have the epidural 
even sooner. 
frustrated that women aren't empowered to give birth without  drugs!
