So, how does the anaethetist know not to pierce the dura? How can they feel if they've gone too far?

My wife just got one for her child birth. Get it if you are afraid of pain. My wife did not want to get it for our first child and we waited so long that she was miserable until she got it. This time we got it almost immediately and they can adjust the dose throughout labor according to pain needs. She was in labor for 18 hours. Thank god for epidurals! My wife hates all needles and can't handle a tiny flu shot but as bad as the epidural looks it's ok.

Nice.

From what I have read, they know they hit the dura because there is a distinct "pop" and decreased resistance on the needle.

Research the risks and benefits to of any procedure to both the baby and the mother, before allowing any medical intervention during labour and childbirth.

I have had 3 Spinals (with each of my C-Sections) I never had an issue with any of them. I think getting an IV hurts more than this did. It will react with everybody differently, but because anethiesiologists (sorry if thats spelt wrong) do this more and more everyday, I wouldn't be worried :)
