Summary
This alternate version of the Labor Medications video was developed for women who are planning a natural childbirth. It covers pain management used during natural labor and delivery as well as a brief overview of anesthesia and analgesia. Natural methods of pain relief mentioned include taking showers, controlled breathing, and counter pressure so women can work with their bodies throughout labor. The video emphasizes that women should discuss pain management options with their healthcare professional to determine the best options for them and the importance of including these decisions in a birth plan.
