Well from watching the video The Business of being born an epidural does slow down your contractions and when it does they have to give you more pitocin to speed up the process I personally am not sure because I am a ftm but I do highly recommend watching the video it's free on youtube

Doesn't have any affect on the process or speed just for pain relief!
