Pain control options
A dedicated Anesthetist is available around the clock to provide pain control options for your comfort. Intrathecal (Epidural) pain management offers the following advantages to mother and baby:
- Intrathecals for pain control allow the mother to be more comfortable, without complete loss of feeling during labor.
- Since it allows you to be more relaxed, it can make your baby's passage through the birth canal faster and easier.
- Because intrathecals are not introduced through the mother's bloodstream, it has a minimal, if any, effect on your baby.
- We encourage you to discuss pain control methods with your physician during your prenatal visits.
