anaesthetists
Anaesthetists are doctors responsible for providing pain relief during medical procedures and labour. This can include general anaesthesia during surgeries, as well as epidurals and other pain relief options for labour, including for people who have a termination for medical reasons. They may see you in pregnancy to discuss options for pain relief, as well as the postpartum period as you recover.
