Today’s guest, Dr. Q, is joining me to discuss pain in labor! Everyone wants to have a pain free birth, but something always left out of the conversation is our individual PERCEPTION of pain! Dr. Q is a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist, childbirth educator and postpartum doula! She specializes in the treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction and conditions that affect the bladder, bowel, and reproductive systems.
This episode will help you have a deeper look at the neuroscience behind pain! Dr. Q will teach us how your perception of pain can impact your labor, how medications (pain relief meds + labor augmentation meds) impact your pelvic floor and how you can learn to work with your body in terms of the fear-pain-tension cycle to have your best birth!
