Painless Normal Delivery In Dubai
Painless Normal Delivery
Pregnancy is an incredibly special and unforgettable experience for a woman. The journey she embarks upon is filled with remarkable changes in her body and hormones, unlike anything she’s ever experienced before. If you’re pregnant, it’s natural for you to feel concerned about labor and the inevitable pain that comes with it.
Thankfully, modern medicine has made incredible strides in reducing pain during childbirth. They’ve introduced a technique called Epidural Analgesia, which allows for a painless and more comfortable delivery. It’s truly a revolutionary method that helps mothers-to-be go through the beautiful process of giving birth with less discomfort.
What is painless delivery?
Painless delivery is a method of providing pain relief during natural labor by using a type of anesthesia called an epidural. This anesthesia is administered through an injection in the lower back of the mother. The medication may take 10-15 minutes to show effect. Painless delivery is a great option for women who have a lower tolerance for pain and would otherwise consider a cesarean section.
How is the epidural administered?
During the administration of the epidural, you will be asked to sit still and arch your back.
Next, the doctor inserts a thin tube called into the lower part of your spinal cord. After removing the needle, the catheter will be secured in place with tape so that the epidural anesthesia can be delivered during labor.
The epidural is usually given when you are in active labor, and it works by numbing the pelvic region and everything below it while you remain conscious. It’s important to note that while the epidural provides significant pain relief, it may not completely eliminate all sensations.
How long does epidural analgesia last?
Who should have it?
Painless delivery procedure:
Before the procedure, fluids will be administered through drips in the arms.
- You will be positioned to make it easier for the doctors to insert the needles.
- Cold antiseptic will be used to clean your lower back, followed by a small amount of local anesthetic.
- The needle will be inserted between the spine bones in the space surrounding the spinal cord.
- A small plastic tube is inserted with the needle for the delivery of the anesthetic, numbing the pain.
- Relief from the pain can be expected within five to thirty minutes, and an epidural can be administered at any stage of labor.
Advantages of epidural analgesia or painless normal delivery
Some benefits of epidural anesthesia include:
- Reduces postpartum complications by allowing the mother to focus on the delivery and preventing exhaustion and irritation.
- Relaxes pelvic and vaginal muscles, aiding the baby’s descent during delivery.
- Lowers the blood pressure of the mother, which can rise to dangerous levels during labor.
- Beneficial for mothers with cardiac complications, as it helps manage pain effectively.
- Reduces secretion of stress hormones, providing comfort to both the mother and the child.
- Offers a comfortable delivery option for older mothers (above 30 years) who may have a lower pain threshold.
