Epidurals: Real Risks For Mother & Baby by Dr Sarah Buckley

Someone I know had to have a patch as the dura was punctured.

I think whats not often talked about is the risk for the baby. Epidurals lower blood pressure, hence blood flow and oxygen to the baby. I know several babies who have crashed after an epi.

I'd always suggest getting anything unusual checked out, for peace of mind at the very least.
