Ah, so you're in Canada.....
I always wonder about Canada and the USA and epidurals. Every baby and maternity show that I have watched from either place seems to see an epidural as the 'first choice' in pain relief, and I've always wondered why.
Any other pain relief is seen as 'alternative'.
Is anyone able to shed light on this?

I wish North America wouldn't rely so much on epidural as an alternative to pain management
It's too bad because where I am, epidural is highly recommended by almost every Ob. Also, Canada is still pretty slow on catching up with alternative pain management such as relaxation techniques, music, and etc. I guess having an epidural save a doctor's time since Quebec (where I am) has a shortage on doctors!
