This is pain associated with giving birth. There are three stages to labor. The first stage starts with the first contractions and ends with complete dilation of the cervix. This is the most painful stage. The second stage is from complete dilation of the cervix to delivery of the baby. This stage is not as painful but requires a lot of effort to push the baby out. The last stage is delivery of the placenta. This stage should not be painful. It is associated with pain if you had a tear or required an episiotomy that is a cut to help the baby come out quicker.





Call your Doctor if you are in labor and require pain relief. There are many ways to help you have a relatively pain-free labor.

Note: All medications mentioned on this site--including, specialty compounded ointments such as Capsaicin, Gabapentin, Ketamine, Vitamin E--may be ordered directly from L.A. Pain Clinic.
