In today's episode our host Mon educates us on the types of pain relief options and strategies available to Women during labour, including both non pharmacological and pharmacological pain management.
Mon talks you though the non pharmacological pain relief options such as movement, breathe work, sterile water injections, the use of tens & water therapy/immersion. As well as the pharmacological pain management options of nitrous oxide, morphine & the increasingly popular epidural.
Like always Mon's aim in this episode is to educate you about this topic to try and make you more aware of what is available to you in labour but also encourages you to always seek your own medical advice from your healthcare provider as every hospital has their own specific policies and procedures to follow.
As mentioned in this episode here are some useful TENS machine hire pages:
