Options for Pain Management in Labor

“Pain management isn’t just about medications—it’s about comfort, choice, and feeling supported.”
In this highlight, Mary explains that there’s no single right way to cope with labor pain—because there’s no single way to experience labor. What matters most is that you understand your options and feel empowered to choose what works for you.
