Reduce Epidural Complications: Statistics show that epidurals have better outcomes when received once labor is well established and in lighter doses. This means helping moms get to 4-5 cm. without medication and using techniques for effective pushing. Perhaps, for some, learning a wide range of comfort measures will replace the need for the anticipated epidural.
