You Don't Always Have to Say NO to Drugs! Epidurals, Spinal Blocks, and more, with an Anesthesiologist!

Hi My Name Is Mom - A podcast by himynameismom - Tuesdays

Thinking about labor and delivery is a LOT. How is that giant baby getting OUT!?? And more importantly… how badly is it gonna hurt?? After all the dramatic labor scenes we see in movies over the course of our lives, it’s no wonder that by the time we have our own babies, there's been a ton fo build up for that moment! Along with the excitement of meeting that new baby, come so many questions - including the many options for pain intervention during labor… this week, we have a real live anesthesiologist join us to answer our (and your) biggest questions about labor and delivery drugs! Epidurals, c-sections, and more... do they slow down labor? How late in labor can you decide to get an epidural? Why can’t we eat? And what do we not really need to worry about? Plus, Corri, Kaela & Jen share some of their own weird experiences! Our friend Allison Overmon, M.D., has all the answers!  Got a story about your labor/delivery drugs, or a question for our anesthesiologist?
