Is it important to change positions during labor?

Pudendal Block

A pudendal block is known as a regional nerve block. It is used to relieve the second-stage pain during a vaginal delivery. It is administered through a needle inserted into the vaginal area while the laboring mom is on her back, feet up in stirrups. This reduces vaginal and cervical pain - but not uterine discomforts. It is frequently used in conjunction with Demeral or Stadol.
