Each woman's labor and delivery experience is unique, and each person has a different level of tolerance to pain and reaction to stress. Some women give birth with mild pain or discomfort, controlled by comfort measures, relaxation, and breathing techniques. Others have strong feelings of pain only relieved with medications. At Gunnison Valley Hospital the nurses and doctors will work with you to help you achieve the comfort level you desire. Labor & Delivery nurses are trained to assist you with various techniques to achieve comfort during labor. If you desire pain medication, your doctor can order analgesics or epidurals for pain relief during labor.
