What are some pros and cons about epidurals and does the information vary with twins?

Epidurals are very effective for pain relief during labor. Side effects are rare, the most common being a "spinal headache" after delivery or numbness which can make pushing difficult. I do like epidurals for patients with twins in case interventions are needed for the 2nd baby, which can be very uncomfortable for mom. If a c-section is planned for twins, spinal anesthesia is typically used.
