Did you get two epidurals for your labor or C-section? It's not uncommon in anesthesia, affecting around 1 in 10 women before delivery. It can happen if the first epidural doesn't deliver local anesthetic medication to the right nerves. That can result in women feeling pain when they labor!
This is partly because we can't see where the epidural is going, and we may need to adjust the tip of the catheter in your back. Sometimes, however, we need to replace the catheter altogether.
