epidurals , what makes me so appalled in Prepared Childbirth Class the moms decide that they want a epiduralbefore they even know what a contraction feels or what labor is going to be like, I always state in class you are not getting your epidural withyour gown, All the information here on lactnet is so helpful with our teaching. We stress the side effects and how it can effect breastfeeding and offer it as one of the options, because in a hospital setting we have to do that, and it makes it hard because we ofcourse do not use opinions in class .SO thanks again for all the resources to have available..
