We offer a variety of pain management and anesthesia options to laboring mothers, with the goal of making the birthing experience as comfortable as possible.
NITROUS OXIDE
Nitrous oxide, or “laughing gas,” is an odorless gas — safe for mom and baby — that works by reducing anxiety and helping expectant mothers relax. With nitrous oxide, expectant mothers are in control: they hold the mask themselves and decide when to inhale. Some women feel dizzy or nauseous while inhaling nitrous oxide, but these sensations subside a few minutes after they stop inhaling from the mask.
NARCOTIC PAIN MEDICATION
For expectant mothers that go this route, medication is administered through an IV line. The medication may have side effects, such as feeling drowsy, dizzy, or having trouble concentrating. This pain medication may not be allowed within the hour before delivery, as it might make the baby too sleepy to take the big breaths he or she needs right after birth.
EPIDURAL
An epidural is an injection in the lower back to numb part of the body to pain, and can be used for either vaginal or cesarean delivery. Epidurals are administered by our anesthesia team.
SPINAL BLOCK
A spinal block is commonly used for cesarean delivery, and involves a single shot of medication into the fluid around the spinal cord. Spinal Blocks are administered by our anesthesia team.
