Earlier this week, we brought to you news of a new study review that discusses the timing of getting an epidural.

You can learn more at Lamaze.org and by reading the following new infographic, all about epidurals. And, for a new, in-depth review of the recent epidural study, hop over to our sister blog, Science & Sensibility, to read Henci Goer's detailed look at the quality of the trials involved in the systematic review.
