KIDDO CHATS: Labour pain management with Specialist Obstetrician Professor Stephen Tong
Epidural. Laughing gas. Morphine. Tens Machine. Acupuncture. Water injection. There’s a proverbial smorgasbord of pain management options for pregnant women in the throes of labour, but if you’re an expecting parent, how much do you know about each of them? In this episode we welcome Professor Stephen Tong, leading academic Obstetrician and author of THE BIRTH BOOK to talk about all things pain relief for birth. Stephen takes us through the whole spectrum of options available for women during labour, how and when each method is administered, the pros and cons, effectiveness and associated risks.
