    This is another reason why doctors need to have education in pain care and use less opioids and make use of other treatments for pain. Opoids are too dangerous and not effective enough to be used for pregnant woemn. Unfortunately, medicine has a long history of negating and dismissing the rights of infants when it comes to pain care. It is time for medicine to be much more compassionate towards all people in pain-and if and when medicine becomes more compassionate toward people in pain-then there will be less use of opioids for all pain conditions- including pain during pregnancy.
