When preparing for your birth, one thing to consider is pain management support during labor and birth.  It comes up a lot in Rachael’s doula work, and discussing in Dr. Shannon’s prenatal chiropractic office as well.  This episode is all about education, helping you make informed decisions when it comes to your birth plan and birth preferences.  

In this episode, we discuss:

• The pros and cons of epidurals
• Alternative easy to manage discomfort/pain/intensity during birth (also check out episode 24: comfort during labor
• The procedure of getting the epidural
• Tips for managing labor with an epidural (did you know you can still move!!)
• Questions to ask your provider
