Painless Delivery

Painless delivery can be achieved using a form of regional anesthesia that provides pain relief during natural labor. Epidural anesthesia is administered through an injection in the lower back of the mother. The drug takes about 10-15 minutes to take effect. This is a good option for women with a lower pain-bearing capacity

How Is The Epidural Anaesthesia Administered?

You may be required to sit still with your back arched while you are given the epidural. The doctor will catheterize your lower back by inserting a thin tube into the lower part of your spinal cord. The needle is removed, and the catheter is taped into place so that epidural anesthesia can be administered during labor. The epidural is administered once you are in active labor and works by numbing your pelvic region and everything below it while you remain conscious. However, you should be aware that it does not offer 100% pain relief.

The Advantages Of EpiduralPainless delivery gives women a chance at experiencing natural childbirth, with very little intervention. It has helped in bringing down the number of elective C-sections in India. Women are given the option to take an epidural during labor if they feel they are not able to bear the pain, are exhausted from pushing, or in case of any emergencies that may require an urgent C-section. By alleviating pain, it allows the mother to focus on the delivery. It is a relaxation aid and can prevent exhaustion and irritation experienced by most women during childbirth, thereby reducing the risk of developing post-partum complications. It helps the baby descend easily by relaxing the pelvic and vaginal muscles. It also helps in lowering the blood pressure of the mother, which otherwise can shoot up to dangerous levels during labor.
