Like, really know them? There are so many more options than just unmedicated birth and epidural birth. Depending on where you choose to give birth, you will have a variety of pain relief options, both natural and medical. There is always a forgotten option that is truly magical and that is Nubain/Staidol. We are going to dive into this option so you can feel confident to have a discussion with your provider about it's availability and any rules you need to know about its use at your particular place of birth!
