Does childbirth hurt more for redheads? 👩🦰 By TamarSatov
Kendra Harvey* is no stranger to pain. She needs twice as much numbing meds as other patients when she sees the dentist, and the usual pain-management treatments failed when she gave birth to her son in 2019. “My,” she says. “Neither did gas and air [laughing gas] or the intravenous medicine during labour.”
Research does, however, indicate a difference in the way red-heads experience pain. A 2004 study, for example, found red-heads needed about 20 percent more general anaesthetic than dark-haired test subjects to prevent them from moving in response to pain, and a 2005 paper showed that the numbing effect of local anaesthesia—like the kind you get at the dentist or in an epidural—was significantly reduced in red-heads.
There’s no need for pregnant red-heads to steel themselves for the worst in the delivery room, though.
