Alicia,
I have not had an epidural pump. I don't know anyone that has. But, my doctors at one time talked about using one. I did some research on the internet and found some very negative things. I don't want to say that everything is negative...but you should weigh everything before you make a decision. I will try to find some info and post it on this site. Hope this will help.
