I read a post saying that getting an epidural can cause women to have their milk delayed and make it hard to breastfeed. I really want to breastfeed, and I really do not think I can do it without an epidural

I don't think that's true for all women I had an epidural and was able to breast feed

I've heard this as well & don't think the source was relaying the information properly... It really only has a slight effect on the baby in the first hour/two (can delay the natural "crawl" babies do during skin to skin when they breastfeed instinctually). However, don't think you can't go natural! Our bodies were designed to bear and birth children, yes there are instances and complications, but natural is possible for most all women... Society has just filled tv & stories with the idea medicated births are a necessity.
