Misty wrote about this, and I was wondering if anyone else saw the NYT article on epidurals and casareans. Apparently there are some studies that show that epidurals increase the rate of C-Sec. Now, new studies show that they do not. No mention at all was made connecting breaastfeeding difficulties with epidurals. In fact, the tone of the article was-go for it! Epidurals are great! This was in the Science Times, Oct. 21. Our copy has been recycled except for the article connecting cancer with second hand smoke... Pearl Shifer
