How long will the epidural last?

A continuous epidural can usually be made to last as long as your labor lasts. Usually, the medication is stopped when you are completely dilated so that you are able to push when you need to. Other medication can be given near the time of delivery, but it might make it harder for you to push. If you cant push, then the doctor might have to use instruments such as forceps to help deliver the baby.
