Every life decision has pros & cons. . .

Quote From: evansmar

I know many girls like getting tatoos on their backs. I think they would reconsider if the knew that many doctors in Canada will not give an epidural during childbirth if they cannot find a spot of normal skin.  There is some worry about the toxic nature of the dyes in the tatoos.  

  

  

Come on, if you are going to think of planning a pregnancy with an epidural as part of the plan for child birth, you might has well look at the risks of the epidural also,  My girlfriend planned on her special labor & delivery with an epidural as part of it, and is now paralyzed for the rest of her life.   I'd rather have the tattoo, than epidural, I'd rather feel for the rest of my life, than plan on missing out of an incredible experience of natural childbirth, not to mention being able to run & play with my children.  *3 of which I went through, without meds, or epidurals.  Every life experience has its risks.
