Epidural comparison to anesthesia

Jessica

Hello everyone! I’m currently 38 weeks and 3 days and it’s looks more and more like we may have to be induced or get a c section due to babies size and my amniotic fluid levels are lowering. We’re worried he will get stuck trying to deliver naturally and are leaning towards c section, however I am nervous about an epidural. Any procedures I have gotten in the past, the anesthesia has made my BP tank. I asked my OB if an epidural would do the same and he is not sure and said I would have to ask the anesthesiologist when I get to the hospital to deliver but I hate to not be prepared or know. Has anyone had this experience or know if my body will react the same to an epidural as it does anesthesia?
