What should you do when the pain of childbirth is hard to endure?

Patient's question:

Currently, there haven't been any further symptoms, only a lot of menstrual cramps before pregnancy. I'm usually very afraid of pain, and in the past, I would take pain relievers during my periods. I'm worried about enduring unbearable pain during natural labor. What if I can't hold on until the end? I've heard that older mothers are more prone to complications, and natural labor can be very painful. Their birth canals are much less flexible than those of younger women. The pain of previous menstrual cramps still lingers in my mind, and I'm very afraid I won't be able to endure it. Because a friend once fainted twice during childbirth and had to terminate natural labor. She even had two incisions made in her vaginal opening to deliver the baby. Now I'm very worried about experiencing something similar again.

Doctor's answer:

I am aware of your problem. Don't worry. It seems you might be experiencing some prenatal symptoms, so please don't overworry. Currently, there are many methods available, and the simplest one is a cesarean section, which is also better. With an injection, everything will be fine. Pay attention to prenatal care. The daily treatment for patients in labor mainly involves taking medication. Patients can use many oral medications, combined with various vitamins, and also pay attention to regular routines, avoiding smoking and alcohol. I hope the laboring patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
