Well, I never went through childbirth yet but I will take the Epidural, that's for sure, unless I am already to advance in the work, in which case it can not be performed.


The only time I've heard from women suffering of long side effect from this was in Mx. In France I never heard from somebody complaining about it qand all my friends had babies.


I am not saying that this could not be happening but I don't think it is in most of the cases.

  • Loss of perineal sensation and sexual function

    •  


     


  • Direct drug toxicity

  • Fetal distress, abnormal FHR (can lead to emergency cesarean)

  • Drownsiness at birth, poor sucking reflex

  • Maternal fever (impeded thermoregulation from numb skin) leads to fetal hyperthermia and neonatal
    NICU workup (spinal tap, etc.)

  • Poor muscle strength and tone in the first hours

  • Neonatal jaundice

  • Decreased maternal-infant bonding, behavioral problems

  • Hyperactivity up to seven years (suspected)

    got the idea from Chile's thread:


    Taken from: http://www.childbirth.org


    Reported Side Effects of Epidural Anesthesia
    Compiled by Vicki Elson, CCE


    All obstetric interventions carry benefits and risks. While some of the following effects are rare and others are common, it is important for every mother to be aware of these risks, to explore the many natural forms of pain management, and to decide carefully whether the benefits of epidural anesthesia outweigh the risks. Many mothers find it helpful to reconceptualize "pain" as "intensity," to prepare well, to choose their midwife/doctor with care, to arrange for loving support, and to cultivate an awareness of their own courage and beauty.



    Mother: Additional interventions




    • Restricted mobility, IV, and EFM (all epidural patients)
    • Increased likelihood of bladder catheterization, oxytocin administration, internal monitoring
    • Increased likelihood of operative (i.e. forceps, episiotomy, cesarean) delivery
    • Automatic blood pressure cuff throughout labor


    Mother: Short term




    • Dural puncture
    • Hypotension (29%)
    • Nausea, vomiting, shivering (frequent)
    • Prolonged labor
    • Uneven, incomplete or nonexsistent pain relief
    • Feelings of emotional detachment
    • Respiratory insufficiency or paralysis
    • Convulsions
    • Toxic drug reactions
    • Slight to severe headache
    • Septic meningitis
    • Allergic shock
    • Cardiac arrest
    • Maternal death


    Mother: Long term




    • Neurological complications
    • Backache (weeks to years)
    • Postpartum feelings of regret, loss of autonomy
    • Fecal and urinary incontinence or bladder dysfunction (inability to urinate)
    • Paresthesia ("pins and needles")
    • Loss of perineal sensation and sexual function


    Baby




    • Direct drug toxicity
    • Fetal distress, abnormal FHR (can lead to emergency cesarean)
    • Drownsiness at birth, poor sucking reflex
    • Maternal fever (impeded thermoregulation from numb skin) leads to fetal hyperthermia and neonatal
      NICU workup (spinal tap, etc.)
    • Poor muscle strength and tone in the first hours
    • Neonatal jaundice
    • Decreased maternal-infant bonding, behavioral problems
    • Hyperactivity up to seven years (suspected)


    Economic




    • Increased costs (all epidural patients)
