Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Although Lamaze does teach that pain is a natural and normal part of childbirth,it also empowers the woman with strategies to cope with the pain in positive ways that facilitate the labor and birth process.It does not promise a pain-free childbirth and decisions about medications are left to the woman who has been educated about their effect on childbirth.Stating simply that pain is a normal part of childbirth without elaborating on how it is managed will not alleviate the patient's concern.
