Can you have a c section without an epidural?
Most C- sections occur because labor has progressed but there may be problem. For instance, the baby may have a declining heart rate or may not have turned or some other emergency. In most cases the mothers have already had the epidural If you are having a planned C-section they will probably give you a spinal block which is like an epidural only it goes directly into your spine. They only resort to putting you under in extreme cases. Epidurals aren't bad. You probably won't even feel the needle go in. You will have such relief after you get one, that the little needle prick won't even phase you

Why an epidural is likely to exert effects on nerves with slower and prolonged action than a spinal tap?
Essentially, when a spinal tap is given, a needle is inserted into the spinal canal in the lumbar area, medicine (or an anesthetic) is inserted directly into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Numbness is usually immediate. However, in an epidural, a hollow needle and a catheder are inserted into space between the spinal column and the outer membrane of the spinal cord (EPIDURAL space). Hence the name "epidural".
