Just want to share something important here. Do you know that you can learn hypnosis for pain relief during labor. Forget about epidural anesthesia because it brings more harm than good. One of the major disadvantages of epidural anesthesia is you light find that your epidural pushing more difficult and additional medication or interventions may be needed such as forceps or cesarean. Are you prepare yourself for "Labor Day"? Try to learn as much as possible about pain relief options especially hypnotherapy so that you will be better prepared to make decisions during the course of labor and birth process at the link below: http://www.hypnotherapyservicesmalaysia.com/control-of-pain/
