Labor analgesia refers to pain relief methods used during labor. Common options include:
● Epidural: This numbs the lower half of your body, offering significant pain relief while you remain conscious.
● Nitrous oxide: Often called “laughing gas,” this gas helps you relax and reduce pain during labor.
● Opioids: Sometimes used for short-term pain relief, though they may make you feel drowsy.
Your doctor will help you decide which method is best for you based on your preferences and labor progression.
