Dear mumsnet members

Thanks to all of you who contributed to an earlier appeal for help during the design of www.LabourPains.com, the brand new public information website of the Obstetric Anaesthetists' Association (the OAA is a UK charity - you can find out more on the website).

I'm pleased to say that www.LabourPains.com is now live and ready for you to explore. It's free, not-for-profit and non-commercial!

Please take a look, spread the word and feedback to us so we can improve our product. We're also on Twitter at @labourpainsoaa.

Thanks in advance!

Looks interesting.

So much information is anecdotal and sometimes weighted with issues (e.g. pain relief = failure) it can be hard to make informed choices, I've found. Glad for all pain relief info on clear, factual sites.

Mind you my latest is labour tales of midwives who are anti-pain-relief saying "no" not for any clinical reason but because they felt the woman could 'do more'. Wah! Heard of this twice (luckily not at the hospital I will be going to).
