Whether it's an epidural, IV narcotics, or nitrous oxide, understanding how each option works and what to expect can help you navigate your birth with less anxiety and more enjoyment. We’ll break down common side effects, proactive ways to stay engaged, and how to optimize oxytocin production for smooth labor, even with pain relief.
