Before having an epidural, your GP or anaesthetist will talk to you about your health and medical history. Epidurals may not be suitable if you have conditions that affect the nervous system, blood clotting problems, or back problems.

It's also recommended that extra care be taken with an epidural if you've previously had a Caesarean section or there are problems with the placenta.
