My sis has scoliosis. She has 4 kids and didn't get an epidural with any but the last one.. She has a pretty big fear of needles.. Well, the epidural ended up causing her to leak spinal fluid. Along with excruciating migraines it also caused her a few extra days stay in the hospital.. Not sayin it will happen to you too I just thought I'd share her experience with it..
