Nina Roberts is a senior nurse anesthesia student at Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond, VA. Part of her doctoral project titled, “are the current methods of pain control for intrauterine device insertion effective for nulliparous women,” was to create a podcast highlighting the lack of a standardized approach to pain relief for IUD insertion for women. If you're unfamiliar with the term nulliparous, it refers to a woman who has never given birth.

Nina became passionate about this project almost five years ago because of her friend Lizzie's experience with her IUD insertion. Because of Lizzie's story, Nina
began to hear other women's stories about their IUD insertions, many of which mirrored Lizzie's experience. In this episode, listeners will also hear from Lauren and Callie as they share their personal experiences with this procedure. Additionally, you will hear from doctor, Chailee Moss, a board certified OBGYN.
