It's looking more and more like this baby isn't going to keep cooking all they way to our due date. This will be my third baby and so far I have had an epidural both times at full term.  Bless those drugs! :) But I am a little concerned about having an epidural with an early baby. I will be 36 weeks Monday. Does anyone have experience with a preterm baby struggling after an epidural delivery. I just want to give her the best start possible, especially if she is going to arrive 4 weeks early.
