Best Life: Opioid free c-section, doctors looking to cut back on drug used for new moms

Now doctors are working to cut back on the need for those highly addictive drugs, replacing them with something just as powerful but not habit-forming.

Reighn Maris Williams was c-section number four for mom, Ada Williams.

“They were very painful,” Ada shared.
