Planning for your new baby is one of the most exciting times in your life. Our practice is dedicated to making this wonderful event as safe and comfortable as possible for both you and your baby. Because of the many ways available for managing labor pain, we hope the information we have provided will help you make an informed decision.
Every woman and labor experience is quite unique. Some women attain adequate pain control with non-medical techniques such as relaxation, massage, breathing or visual imagery. For some, these techniques work throughout labor. For others, these techniques become inadequate as labor progresses. When this occurs, medications may be used to minimize the pain. The management of your labor pain must be designed specifically for you. In our practice here at CAA, the majority of laboring mothers request epidural anesthesia for control of labor pain.
