Another queston on epidurals

This is in response to Mary Shoup's answer to my post on epidurals and episiotomies. So, have epidurals become popular AGAIN, or did they never go out of fashion in some areas of the country? I can see why they would help if they provide a pain free interval during a long labor, (in other words, allow the mother to rest but wear off before the actual delivery stage) but how could they possibly help if the mother is unable to feel anything and can't push? (I'm talking about uncomplicated delivery) Is the trend now AWAY from unmedicated childbirth? It was my impression that 20 years ago the trend was away from intervention in an umcomplicated childbirth. I feel out of the loop here!
