Summary

When hypotension is related to epidural placement, this can occur within 15-60 minutes after placement. The purpose of this study is to build upon this preliminary work and to use a randomized controlled trial to examine the effectiveness of SCDs in preventing hypotension among a larger sample of laboring women who receive an epidural analgesia. This study will use a randomized, non-blinded, controlled design with two arms:

* Arm 1: Patient will receive 1L of LR and have SCDs applied 15 minutes before epidural placement and will be removed 1 hour after epidural placement
* Arm 2: Patient will receive 1L of LR during and after epidural placement with no use of SCDs
