A “walking epidural’’ is another name for a procedure called a “combined spinal-epidural.’’ It’s a combination of both an epidural and a spinal block.

Rebecca Boudreaux, MD practices at Louisiana Women's Healthcare in Baton Rouge.
Dr. Boudreaux has a special interest in laparoscopic surgeries, including hysterectomies, which reduces healing time and side effects of traditional surgery. She also focuses on infertility care, uterine-preserving surgery and high-risk pregnancies, though she treats women of all ages and stages of life.
For her low-risk patients, Dr. Boudreaux uses natural childbirth options to complement deliveries, such as light diet during labor, walking epidural, and intermittent electronic fetal monitoring during labor. She's well-versed in medicated deliveries as well and can use various strategies to personalize her patient’s care.
After medical school at the LSU School of Medicine in New Orleans, board-certified Dr. Boudreaux stayed at the college to complete her residency in obstetrics and gynecology. During her time in the program, she was named chief resident.
