What specific questions do you have regarding epidurals during childbirth?

I have provided some of the information regarding epidurals that are on this site, and I'm wondering what questions you still have, after reading these resources:
- EmpowHer's Encyclopedia: Epidural Anesthesia
- The Epidural (Shared story)
- The Labor Dispute: Epidural or Natural Childbirth?
- Question: What is Your Experience with an Epidural?

The risks of an epidural include:
* Bleeding disorders
* Prior bad or allergic reactions to anesthetics
* Dehydration
* Immune system disorders
* Mother’s blood pressure can lower, which can cause a decrease in the baby’s heart rate

Are currently pregnant, and wanting to know more about pain management during labor and delivery?
