Painless Delivery

Understanding Painless Delivery

Painless normal delivery refers to the use of regional anaesthesia, most commonly an epidural, to provide effective pain relief during natural labour. In this method, an anaesthetic drug is administered through an injection in the lower back, specifically into the epidural space of the spine. It usually takes about 10-15 minutes to begin working. Epidural anaesthesia helps reduce the intensity of labour pain while allowing the mother to remain conscious and actively participate in the birthing process. This option can be especially beneficial for women with a lower pain threshold who might otherwise consider a C-section due to fear of labour pain.
