Epidural during a VBAC?

I've previously had a c section around 20 months ago and planning on normal delivery next, will I still be allowed to have an epidural after a VBAC ?

Yes there is no reason why you can't have an epidural when you've had a previous C section x

Unless your doctors have told you the epidural is not suitable for you then there is no reason why you can't.

Epidurals are only available in labour wards. You can have a VBAC in a midwife led unit or at home, but you can't have an epidural.
