Epidural anesthesia is preferred by some clinicians. Epidural anesthesia and analgesia requires placing a specially designed needle (Hustead, Tuohy, or Crawford) into the epidural space. Drugs may be injected directly through the needle or an epidural catheter may be inserted. Subsequent postoperative analgesia may utilize continuous drug infusion or injection of a single drug. A variety of other agents have been added to epidural infusions Epinephrine can induce a synergistic analgesic on the spinal cord as well as elicit vasoconstriction on the blood vessels for decreased absorption of local anesthetic36. Other multimodal approaches have utilized small doses of ketamine, an NMDA antagonist in the spinal cord, for sensory blockade and prevention of central sensitization of nociceptors37.…

This review provides a clear pattern of evidence that shows doula-supported births lead to a reduction in cesarean rates. A reduction in cesarean rate can be explained due to the fact that doula-supported births are also shown to decrease the length of labor, the amount and type of analgesic used, factors that greatly influence cesarean births. The reduction of cesarean rates through the use of continuous doula support is relevant because it provides a way to minimize the negative health outcomes and complications of the mother and baby and promote crucial aspects of the birthing process. With these results, medical professionals can continue to implement and promote the use of doulas in the hospital setting.…

Right at the beginning of the video, one of the ladies whom Anna was sitting with was talking to Anna about her childbirth. Throughout their conversation, she mentioned some very interesting points. I agree with the lady when she said that she was completely for drugs. “Why should you suffer like somebody did 100 years ago.” she said. If there are safe medical ways that can help reduce the pain of delivery, why would we not use them? I think everyone should be thankful for all of the medical discoveries made and utilize these discoveries so that they…

A mother’s lifetime chances of dying in childbirth ran as high as 1 in 8…
One of the other definite pros of the Lamaze classes was learning about the epidural. We learnt how it is put in and some the positive and negative things about having one. I knew that I would probably want to request one when the pain got to be too much but I did have my doubts because I have heard a lot of negatives things about epidurals in the past. Fortunately, my instructor was able to put my worries to rest by educating me further on the topic and giving me enough confidence in epidurals that I decided if I was able to get one during labor I would. I am happy to say I have no regrets on the epidural, whatsoever.…
Around 75,000 women have used Essure Birth Control to prevent pregnancy because the women do not want children (Garchitorena, Mia). Although Essure birth control is an implant birth control for women who do not want children, it has damaged over 28,000 women’s lives because of all the pain it put the women through. Women should think more in depth about getting this implant, because it shortens fetuses and the mother’s life spans, difficulties after the implant and while it is inside the person and causes deaths between the mother and the baby.…
Another difficulty I encountered was the fact that I had to be very careful with the baby. At times I would forget about holding it in an upright position and it would start to cry. Similarly, when a mother is taking care of her newborn, she is forgets that it is necessary to keep the baby held in an upright position in order to prevent it from getting hurt, and by also supporting the neck. Another thing I had to worry about was it not being rough handled by others, or that I did not bump into anything or drop it accidentally.…
