Author: HeHe Stewart August 25, 2020 Duration: 21:18
Its ironic because Nubain isn't a pill at all--it's an IV narcotic! Do you know your pain relief options during labor? 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! If you are on the fence about what pain relief option is best for you or you are still exploring your pain relief options, this episode is a must-listen!   The Birth Lounge:https://www.thebirthlounge.com Free Birth Prep: https://www.thebirthlounge.com/youridealbirth   Resources: https://americanpregnancy.org/labor-and-birth/narcotics-for-pain-during-labor-849   https://evidencebasedbirth.com/effects-of-iv-opioids-during-labor/
