Epidural Anesthesia
How It Works
The Module empowers pregnant women with the information required to make informed decisions regarding epidural anesthesia use during labor. This is achieved using a personalized animated video that provides the pregnant woman with clear and concise information -- on the procedure, on its risks, on common misinformation, and on alternatives -- weeks ahead of her due date.

×´Providing a pregnant woman with organized information through a video, illustrating what she can expect during the birthing process, leads to fewer surprises and greatly facilitates the entire experience. This approach not only assists us the midwifes, but also reduces the need for extensive explanations from doctors.×´

×´If I was a pregnant woman with limited knowledge, being provided with a video explaining what an epidural entails would have greatly boosted my sense of preparedness, confidence, and understanding.
It exemplifies the potency of knowledge, which effectively reduces feelings of fear, anxiety, and uncertainty.”
