About the Book

In Enjoy Your Labor, Dr. Grant explains in an easy-to-read, understandable format everything that an expectant mother needs to know about the state-of-the-art options for pain relief for labor and delivery.

In Enjoy Your Labor, Dr Grant redresses the lack of accurate information available on modern pain relief techniques, and the unnecessary anxiety that the fear of the unknown creates for mothers-to-be.

In Enjoy Your Labor, Dr. Grant develops his premise that the administration of medication to relieve labor pain is a sensible approach, and that it is pointless to suffer though labor and delivery.

In Enjoy Your Labor, Dr. Grant presents a common-sense approach to childbirth pain relief. He explains the reasons why women can and should get an epidural before the severe pain of labor starts - if they decide they want one. Dr. Grant's refreshing view on when the epidural should be given challenges the 'conventional wisdom,' and is a radical departure from current approaches, where women typically delay getting an epidural for as long as possible - until the pain becomes unbearable.

In Enjoy Your Labor, Dr. Grant encourages readers to advocate for themselves, and to carefully consider and discuss the management of their labor and delivery pain with their health care providers before they go into labor.

In Enjoy Your Labor, Dr. Grant encourages women to empower themselves by learning the facts about modern pain relief for childbirth. After reading the book, women will be able to make decisions based on facts, not on rumors and hearsay. They will have a thorough understanding of their options for the best pain relief known to woman - the 'walking' epidural and/or spinal, and they will understand that it's truly possible to Enjoy Your Labor.
