Now hospital labor and delivery rooms are trying to help moms face the pain by turning to a technology used primarily by gamers: virtual reality headsets.
"[The doctor] came in with the equipment and put it on my head and the scene was a beach and there was also a voice guidance," Martucci said."The voice guidance and the visual calmed me down and made me know I could get through the labor without drugs." Martucci again wore a VR headset for about 30 minutes during labor, from the time doctors broke her water to right before Catherine was born.
Wong is planning to publish the results of a yearlong study in February. The study, which she led, is the most comprehensive to date on whether VR during labor is a data-proven option that more hospitals should offer. For the study, Wong worked with a California-based VR company that enlisted the help of a doula to create visualizations and guided narration focused on getting pregnant women through contractions and delivery.
One of the only other studies on VR during labor, released this summer, looked at 27 women using VR headsets with non-pregnancy specific visual and auditory guides.
