In reply to: Shari: "epidurals and health of newborns" Next in thread: Amy: "Re: epidurals and health of newborns" Hmmm...never heard of this before. I have been a RN for 10 yrs and worked in labor and delivery units at 2 *large* hospitals in SLC, UT. I'd dare say that at least 90% of laboring patients got epidurals in labor...we had 3 anesthesiologists on duty each shift whenever possible. We also had excellent NICU's at those hospitals for the babes with troubles. I've never seen breathing problems associated with epidurals. I have had 4 children and had epidurals with the last 3 and never had any problems myself. I am 10wks pg and an epidural is an option I'd consider again. Just curious...did either of your sisters have IV meds prior to having the epidurals placed?? Narcotic meds are notorious for causing breathing problems in newborns and I've even seen some of the non-narcotic pain meds do this as well. Just my take on it! -- Stormy, RN, BSN Next message: Mary: "Drs. M & Lovely: Re: very short cycle, doing IVF soon!" Previous message: Kelly: "spotting signal a progesterone problem?"
