Pain Relief in Labor - what are my options?
Manage episode 300350569 series 2509831
Letter of the week:
Dear Karen and Charlene,
I have just finished your course - and I loved it by the way, but I have a few questions about pain relief.
I have been thinking about about how labour will be - and if i will cope. I have heard that epidurals are amazing for pain relief - but have also heard that they can have an adverse effect on the baby. Is this true? What options do i have for pain relief - and should i opt for an epidural?
From the course I learnt about having a doula present to help with natural forms of pain relief. How do they compare to the big guns of epidural and pethedine? What other options do I have?
I think i have a high pain threshhold, but my husband thinks I will be begging for an epidural from the get go. I am hoping to prove him wrong - but I also have no idea what to expect.
Thanks for your help - and for the course, I learnt so much!
