"What strategies are in your power all the time that you can use whenever you need them? And then what strategies have you got where you might need a little help or support to enact them?"

In this episode, Dr Rangi is joined by Dr Laura Whitburn, a physiotherapist-turned-researcher and Senior Lecturer at La Trobe University with a special interest in improving the experience of labour pain and intrapartum communication.

In the first episode of this two-part conversation, Rangi and Laura explore:

  • The power of the mind, support people and environment in shaping labour pain
  • How labour pain differs from other types of pain, and how meaning and perception influence the experience
  • The impact of the social environment during labour
  • Intrinsic and extrinsic approaches to pain management
  • The role hormones play in labour and pain
  • How support people can help during labour

Join us next week for part two, where Rangi and Laura continue the conversation on coping with labour pain.
