Episode Curious About Epidurals? Here's Exactly What to Expect Before You Say Yes
When it comes to birth, epidurals are a big part of the conversation – whether you're planning on getting one or just want to be informed.

In this episode of The Mommy Labor Nurse Podcast, I'm diving into:
•
How an epidural is placed (step-by-step!)
•
Whether it hurts to get one
•
What the needle looks like (spoiler: not as scary as you think)
•
Common epidural side effects
•
And yes – we're talking about walking epidurals, too!
