The laboring patient brought a written birth plan indicating that she wanted to avoid pain ...

The laboring patient brought a written birth plan indicating that she wanted to avoid pain medications and an epidural.

She is now at 6 cm and states, I can't stand this anymore I need something for pain How will an epidural affect my baby? The best response by the nurse is: 1. The narcotic in the epidural will make both you and the baby sleepy.
2. It is unlikely that an epidural will decrease your baby's heart rate.
3. Epidurals tend to cause low blood pressure in babies after birth.
4. I can't get you an epidural, because of your birth plan.
