@kayla23, from what I've heard they do spinal blocks for Christmas section and epidural for Vagina

@kayla23, I'm sure someone on here will know! You could always ask your Dr next time :)

I've heard people talk about both of them and was just wondering what the difference was. obviously I won't need to know for awhile lol @sarahmercer

@kayla23, maybe some people do call it that. I have had more spinal taps then I can count. I used to have to have spinal fluid removed to relieve pressure. This is my first child so I don't know too much!

hmm I'm really not sure @sarahmercer I've always heard it called spinal tap. y'all are probably right

a spinal tap is what they do when they need to test your spinal fluid. They remove fluid, we're you talking about a spinal block?

oh okay thank you @jsawyer684

The spinal block is an injection that you get once and an epidural is a catheter line that stays in your back until they take it out. The most noticeable difference is how long the effects of the drugs last.
