I am 38 weeks, 3 days and had my mind made up to have an epidural. Yesterday, when I mentioned this to my sister, she freaked out. She is younger and has no kids, but is almost finished nursing school and has witnessed a few births. She told me a horror story about a birth she say where the woman couldn't push properly because of the epidural and therefore put her baby in some danger. I don't want to danger my baby in anyway, but I thought the epidural didn't impact your ability to push. I'd love to hear about any relevant experiences.
