Pain management is a critical aspect of delivery and can be approached in several ways: - Epidural Anesthesia: A common method that provides significant pain relief while allowing the mother to remain awake and alert. - Spinal Block: Often used for C-sections, providing quick and effective pain relief. - Medications: Intravenous or oral medications can be administered to manage pain. - Alternative Methods: Techniques like breathing exercises, hypnobirthing, and water birth can also help manage pain.
