Epidural in Taiwan?

17 years ago

Hello. I am currently 7 months pregnant and am having my baby in Taiwan. I forgot to ask my doctor at my last appointment if they do epidurals here in Taiwan as I have heard that they do not. However, the people I have heard that they do not from are people who have had babies here but wanted to have it "naturally". I am really hoping that they offer epidurals here and wondering if anyone here knows anything about this. If you do, does it cost extra, is it just the same as the U.S? Those are some things I am pondering. Thank you.
