✨Pain relief in labour: what are your options?✨
Pain relief in birth isn’t just about medication — it’s about understanding your options and making choices that align with your values.
Some women choose:
🍃TENs Machine
🍃Breathing techniques
🍃Position changes & movement
🍃Visualisation
🍃Self-hypnosis
🍃Robozo
🍃Acupressure points
🍃Birth combs
🍃Water (showers or birth pools)
🍃Light touch
🍃Massage
Others may also choose:
👉Gas (nitrous oxide)
👉Morphine/pethadine
👉Epidural
Every option comes with pros and considerations — and you get to decide those based on what matters most to you.
Hypnobirthing doesn’t shame pharmaceutical pain relief. Rather it empowers you to choose from a place of knowledge, not fear.
The best birth is one where you felt informed, supported, and in control.
