This week on MD for Moms, I interview Anesthesiologist Dr Jessica Darnobid about pain control in general and specifically during pregnancy, labor and delivery and beyond.
There are lots of unknowns when it comes to anesthesia – for example, why can’t we eat after midnight for surgery? Why does some anesthesia leave our throats sore and other forms don’t? Why do anesthesiologists ask so many questions pre-op? Dr. Darnobid joins us to discuss common questions about anesthesia this week. We also discuss pregnancy and pain control – what if you need emergency surgery during pregnancy? Will anesthesia harm baby?
We do a deep dive into pain control during delivery. Is one form safer than another? Will an epidural increase the chance of a c-section or make baby groggy? If you had a difficult delivery in the past, can you ask to speak to your anesthesiologist before your next delivery? All this and much more on this week’s MD for Moms.
