Subcutaneous Water BlockA subcutaneous water block is an injection of saline into the lower back to help relieve back labor. This technique works best for the first part of labor. A doctor or an experienced nurse can give the injection. The initial injection is painful like a bee sting - but the pain is blocked. The injection lasts about 90 minutes and can be repeated. There are no known side-effects from the saline injection.
