Basing the response on the approach that is it normal to be anxious about labour and exploring her feelings allows the woman to share her concerns with the nurse and is a therapeutic communication tool.Offering assurance that she will do fine negates the woman's fears and is not therapeutic.Confirming that labour is scary to think about,but the actual experience isn't that bad negates the woman's fears and offers a false sense of security.It is not true that every woman may have an epidural.A number of criteria must be met for use of an epidural.Furthermore,many women still experience the feeling of pressure with an epidural.
