My biggest fear right now has become not being able to bear the pain of giving birth and being told I can't have an epidural. . . .
30 weeks and panic mode has begun . . . .

i don't know for sure - but if you are too far along by the time you ask for it (like you're 8 or 9 cm or something maybe).....or things progress VERY quickly....that would make the whole thing moot.

My SIL had back surgery, she cannot have an EPI, b/c Of that she has to have a C/S under general anesthesia b/c if the labor fails and she needs a C/S it becomes an Emergency or something like that, so she delivered my nices under general.
I think Back issues ( spinal scars etc) are typically why you cant get one.

When I got to the hospital I was almost 9cm but they still asked me if I wanted an epidural - maybe it depends on the hosptial?
