#374 Pain & Pain Relief In Labor
Listen now
Description
So many good listener questions on this topic inspired us to look into the pharmacologic options laboring women have for relief when needed. We talk about nitrous oxide in detail and in relation to MTHFR. Opiates and epidurals and their pros and cons are discussed. We answer the question, does epidural fentanyl cross the placenta? In an upcoming Patreon segment, we will also review the non-pharmacologic approaches to pain management. Blyss gets ready to travel while Dr. Stu stays home.
