Epidural birth carries some potential disadvantages and risks. These risks can generally be listed as follows:
When applied correctly, epidural anesthesia is fully effective in approximately 85% of expectant mothers, partially effective in 12%, and provides no benefit in 3%. In cases where epidural anesthesia is ineffective or partially effective, the expectant mother may still feel pain.
Rarely, if the anesthetic medication seeps into the spinal region instead of the epidural region, severe headache may occur after birth.
One of the most common side effects is a drop in blood pressure in expectant mothers. To prevent this, volume-expanding intravenous fluids can be quickly administered to the expectant mother before epidural anesthesia to reduce the risk of hypotension.
In very rare cases, if the medication is injected into a blood vessel, it may have side effects on the central nervous system and heart, or cause partial paralysis. However, this is an extremely rare side effect in epidural births.
