yeah, about the epidural. Even if you're not sure if you will be taking that route, ask what forms etc you will need to fill out, and get them out of the way early on. Also, they may require to have a nurse with you at all times once she's received the epidural, so ask if they have enough staff onhand. That turned into an issue for us, and my wife almost wasn't able to get an epidural because they were a bit short-staffed.
