No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study divides patients into two groups when they ask for medicine to help relieve the pain of contractions. One group will be selected to receive an epidural and another group will be selected to receive both a spinal dose and an epidural. The investigators will then measure how long it takes to deliver the baby. The investigators think that the group that has the combination spinal and epidural will have a faster labor.
