Epidural anesthesia is a fairly safe type of analgesia for both mother and baby. There are many benefits attributed to the epidural.
The epidural promotes the dilation of the cervix, which results in a faster delivery. In addition, it reduces stress during delivery and has no effect on breast milk.
