When it comes to labour, knowledge is power—and understanding your pain relief options can make all the difference in how empowered and calm you feel on the big day.

In this episode, I’m walking you through all the pain relief options available during labour, from natural techniques like hypnobirthing, water immersion, and TENS machines to medical options such as gas & air, pethidine, epidurals, and even remifentanil—an option you might not have heard much about!

I’ll break down how each method works, the pros and cons, and how you can combine different options to suit your birth preferences. Because the more informed you are, the more confident you’ll feel in making the choices that are right for you.

If you’re feeling unsure about how you’ll cope with the sensations of labour, or simply want to explore your options, this episode is for you.
