Childbirth has been said to be one of, if not the most painful experience a woman can undergo. Modern medicine has developed a pain management solution for labor pains consisting of very effective, sometimes dangerous medication administration. However, this intervention for pain control is not available for over half of the pregnant women in the world, as many of these babies are born in third world countries with little or no medical or pharmacological assistance. Some reasons for the lack of assistance
