The pudendal nerve is often anesthetized during childbirth to reduce pain in the vaginal and perineal area. Anesthesia of the sciatic nerve is not typically used during childbirth. The cauda equina is a bundle of spinal nerves and is not specifically targeted for anesthesia during childbirth. The phrenic nerve controls the diaphragm and is not relevant to childbirth.
