http://www.maternityacupressure.com/epidural-side-effects-and-complications.html Epidural for labor pain relief give comfort for many women giving birth. Epidural, however, can lead to a "cascade of intervention", where an otherwise normal birth becomes highly medicalized, and a birthing woman feels that she loses her control and autonomy over own body, labor and baby. Often the decision to accept an epidural is made without an awareness of these, and other, significant risks to both mother and baby. Therefore, it's good for every expectant mother to learn more about epidural and the pros and con's, including the risks.

I should of done my homework about the side effects of having this procedure done. I had my son at 21yr old and now my hurts so bad when i lift, push a furniture or if it is cold outside i feel it all on my lower back. My mom did tell me not to do this. The doc decided to come check on me and he did see that my baby hearth was slowing down do he had to do emergency c-section. I regret having the epidural..
