By definition an epidural is a shot that goes into the epi-outmost, dura- part of the spinal cord. In simple terms it is a long needle place between your back bones into the edge of the spinal column. An IV is place intravenously; meaning in the veins. There is medication for pain that can be given IV if one does not want and epidural. However, medication given in the blood stream may affect unborn children whereas medication in the spinal column does not.
