Abstract

Every delivery is different, and not everyone will want or need all of the options we describe. If you have any questions, please talk with your primary health care provider.

Topics include: relaxation and breathing techniques, nitrous oxide gas, narcotic analgesics, and epidurals (an FAQ section on epidurals is provided). The importance of talking to your health care provider about your wishes before the birth is also listed.
