Saw this on the natural birth board and remembered that we had a discussion of maternal fevers during labor.

Hmm, I ran a fever with my epi, but I didn't experience any of the side effects mentioned (weak, need ventilation, low Apgar scores, early-onset seizures).  Perhaps I was just lucky?

G didn't experience any of the effects either.

My epidural just made me itchy as as it wore off. Same thing happened to my sister. Otherwise, there were no side effects for me or C.

Same here and I got my epidural early. I pretty much got admitted, had 2 contractions and asked for drugs, lol. J was fine, apgars were 9 & 9, no need for a vent or anything.
