Natural birth
Natural childbirth is a way of giving birth by letting nature take its course.
Some women choose to give birth using no medications at all, relying instead on techniques such as relaxation and controlled breathing for pain. With natural childbirth, the mother goes through labor and delivery without the help of medications, including pain relievers such as epidurals.
Vaginal birth after C-section (VBAC)
A VBAC is when a woman has a vaginal birth after having had a cesarean section in a previous pregnancy.

Pain relief options
Natural birth vs. Epidural
Natural childbirth is vaginal delivery without medication. An epidural is anesthesia inserted into your spine to numb the lower half of your body to relieve the discomfort of labor and childbirth.
Nitrous oxide
We strive to provide mothers plenty of birth options, and we’re proud to be the first in Nevada to offer nitrous oxide during childbirth. Nitrous oxide, commonly referred to as laughing gas, is a non-opioid pain relief option that usually takes effect within seconds and offers immediate relief of pain and anxiety.
