Mothers-to-be: Understanding an Epidural

Description: Epidurals are the most common form of pain relief given during childbirth in the U.S. Half of all moms receive an epidural during delivery. Despite being so common, most patients have many questions and concerns about getting one.

The goal of this video is to explain what an epidural is, and what you should expect should you decide to get one. We at Atrium Health are committed to helping you through this beautiful process of childbirth and hope you find this video both interesting and enlightening. The use of an epidural is a choice and we want you to have all the information you need to feel comfortable with your decision. If you have any questions please feel free to discuss with your care team.
