Default Re: Epidurals, should women pay for them???
When I first saw the title of the thread I thought "should they???".

I don't think that women should have to pay for them because this would force a divide in what is a national health service. I think more attention needs to be paid to educating women about child birth. I have been to ante natal classes where the whole emphasis has been about why suffer have an epidural. There has been no attempt made to educate people about the risks and the effects of having epidurals and I think women cling to the who needs to suffer bit. They see the advice given at AN classes as a right given to them.
