Many plus size women are recommended to see an anaesthetist during pregnancy, and this appointment will involve discussing epidurals for labour and birth. But what do you need to know if you’re plus size? Is it a good idea to have one? What if you don’t want one? Are there special considerations? 

In this episode, Alice goes over the basics of epidurals - what they are, how they work and the things to think about if you’re plus size.
