What is Painless Normal Delivery?
This form of delivery includes giving birth naturally without experiencing any pain associated with labour. It is nothing but normal childbirth without pain. During the procedure, epidural anesthesia is used that provides relief to the woman from normal delivery pain. In fact, it is one of the most popular methods of getting pain relief during delivery.

How does it work?
When a woman is in labour, her uterus starts contracting powerfully for squeezing the baby out. The main reason for the labour pain is these contractions. As the labour commences, the uterus starts contracting and the cervix begins opening to make way for the baby. The pain from the contractions in the uterus travels to the brain through the spine or backbone nerves.

Epidural acts as regional anesthesia. As it is injected in the spinal cord, near the spinal cord, the drug numbs the genital, pelvic, and abdominal areas. When there is no sensation in these parts, you won’t feel those intense contractions. It prevents the pain sensations from getting transmitted to the brain. So, using an epidural, the labour process can be conducted successfully with no pain.

Procedure of Painless Delivery
The Painless Delivery procedure is similar to that of a normal delivery. The only difference is the administration of the epidural for easing labour pains. But, as a to-be mother, you would want to know everything about the procedure for making your decision. So, here is a detailed guide to Painless Normal Delivery.

You will be given IV (intravenous) fluids before the active labour starts and before placing the epidural. Throughout your labour and delivery, you might receive somewhere between 1 to 2 liters of IV fluids.

For starting the epidural procedure, an anesthesiologist will ask you to remain still and arch your back. You might sit up, lay on your side, or bend over the pillow to do that. This position will help the anesthesiologist in inserting the needle at the right place and increasing the epidural’s effectiveness. Next, the lower back is wiped using an antiseptic solution for minimizing the risk of infection. A small amount of local anesthesia will be administered on the lower back for numbing that area. Then, a catheter (a small tube) is threaded into the epidural space (the area between the spinal nerves and bones of the spine) through the needle.

The doctor will then remove the needle carefully and leave the catheter behind for providing anesthetic through continuous infusion or injections at regular intervals. A tape will be applied to the catheter to stop it from slipping out. Once the epidural is administered, it will take somewhere between 5 to 30 minus for the woman to get relief from labour pain.
