If you prepare well for your birth, for example by taking a pregnancy course, it can have a positive effect on your pain experience during labor. Of course, you can also use a warm water bottle, a shower or bath, breathing exercises, or a massage from your partner to relieve the pain.
Think in advance about your stance on pain relief. At the JBZ, you have the option to receive an epidural or a remifentanil injection 24 hours a day. In the brochure “How to manage pain,” you can read more about the advantages and disadvantages of these pain relief options.
