  2. Labour can be very painful, unbearable even, for some mothers. So, if you are thinking of getting an epidural to help you cope with the intense pain, then you are not alone. Observations have shown that more than 60% of women delivering in hospitals opt for an epidural during labour and delivery. Understanding the concept of Epidural? An epidural is an anaesthetic that numbs the body making it unable to feel any sort of sensation or pain. Call Us: +917045115577 Mail Us: info@drneelimamantri.com Website: www.drneelimamantri.com

  3. How Does It Work? This anaesthetic is injected into the space around the spinal nerves called the epidural space in your lower back by an anesthesiologist via a catheter. The process of numbing begins within 10 to 30 minutes. The catheter remains in the epidural space during labour and delivery to continually provide the medication when needed. Epidurals eliminate the pain from labour contractions as well as during birth quite effectively. Therefore, with this anaesthetic, birthing is made less painful.

  4. Types Of Epidurals While experiencing labour pains, you may be offered different types of epidurals. You must know which type you prefer. 1.Epidural Block This type of epidural is an amalgamation of analgesics along with anaesthetics. It is considered to be common which usually surfaces during childbirth. The block is injected through a catheter present in the lower back region and the mother soon gets relief from the pain while being alert at the same time. This allows the mother to exert pressure and push harder when there is a need for it. Call Us: +917045115577 Mail Us: info@drneelimamantri.com Website: www.drneelimamantri.com

  5. 1.Spinal Block The block is injected into the spinal cord which holds the fluid. It begins to take action quickly and lasts for around 60 minutes or so. This type of anaesthetic is given usually at the time of C-section deliveries. 1.Combined Spinal-epidural [CSE] As the name suggests, a CSE is a combination of both the epidural and the spinal block and offers pain relief for as long as one requires. The Pros And Cons Of Epidural During Pregnancy Pros: Considered as the safest method of controlling pain Call Us: +917045115577 Mail Us: info@drneelimamantri.com Website: www.drneelimamantri.com

  6. Cons: It may cause sudden low blood pressure. It can make pushing more difficult leading to the intervention of forceps, vacuum, or C-section. It may increase the possibility of perineal tear. It might slow down the second stage of labour. You may experience some side effects such as nausea, shivering, fever, and itchiness. The epidural space where the catheter is inserted may begin to feel sore leading to back pains. Call Us: +917045115577 Mail Us: info@drneelimamantri.com Website: www.drneelimamantri.com
