Birth Story 11: Mary: Hospital Births With an Epidural vs IV Pain Meds

The MamasteFit Podcast - Un podcast de MamasteFit Podcast

Mary shares her two birth stories and the differences in pain management techniques. Her first birth was an induction at 41 weeks with an epidural leading to a vaginal birth. Her second was unmedicated after spontaneous labor, where she received IV pain relief. We discuss what Mary wished she knew about IV pain relief and the effects that it can have on baby, the concerns with IV pain relief too close to delivery, as well as a little bit about epidurals during this birth story episode.
