[ozmidwifery] Eating the placenta and epidurals

[Abby and Toby]

Hi,   Can anyone tell me if it is okay to still dry the placenta to ground and take in capsules, if the mother has had an epidural during labour? Would the drugs still be in the placental tissue or blood?   Any info appreciated thanks   Love Abby (a doula in training who had a very stressful day watching her sister get ignored while in labour)
