Brief Summary:
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare traditional palpation to pre-procedural lumbar ultrasound prior to epidural placement in obese (BMI \>40) obstetric patient population. The main questions it aims to answer are:
* Is a pre-procedural lumbar ultrasound superior to traditional palpation in terms of total number of epidural needle redirections during epidural placement?
* Is there no difference in time to epidural loss between pre-procedural lumbar ultrasound and traditional palpation during epidural placement? Participants will be randomized to either a pre-procedural lumbar ultrasound or traditional palpation at the time of epidural placement.
