Study Summary

1. labor epidural quite often require bolus supplementation for better pain control control. Quite often this is due to sparing of sacral nerves. 2. If epidural is placed low in the L5/S1 interspace using ultrasound, this may minimize bolus requirement and improve patient labor experience.

Primary Outcome

After test dose and loading up of catheter, s1 and s2 dermatome blockage will be tested in L5/S1 epidural group vs conventionally placed epidural group. Idea is see if higher incidence of S1 and S2 blockage can be demonstrated in low epidural group.
