Women in labour given virtual reality to ease pain of childbirth
Share This:

Women in labour are being given virtual reality headsets to see if they can help manage the pain of childbirth.

University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff is carrying out a trial and it could be rolled out across Wales, if successful.

Midwife Suzanne Hardacre, said the technology offered an alternative for pain management.

Mother-to-be Hannah Lelii, who tested the kit ahead of the birth of her first baby this month, likened it “to a simulator”.

“It’s genuinely 360 degrees, so when I turn, I’ve got the view that would be behind me or to the side of me,” she said.

“It helps to get me in a state of relaxation.”

The health board will arrange a feedback session in future to gauge the response of the first raft of new mums to trial the headsets.
