What is a Painless delivery? Is it safe?| Dr. Anjali Kumar | Maitri

We have all grown up hearing from our moms, aunts and various other women in our lives how difficult it is to give birth. But has anything changed? Is there any medication that you can take to ease the pain? In this video we discuss exactly that! Can the miracle of childbirth be painless? Yes, there is. An epidural is a procedure that can help you have a painless delivery. At what point during labor can you take an epidural? Are there any advantages to taking an epidural? Can an epidural risk the chances of having a caesarean? Do epidurals cause nerve damage? Can an epidural cause chronic backache? What are some risks of epidural anaesthesia? When can an epidural not be used? Can the epidural affect the baby? And many such questions!

Did you take an epidural while you were delivering? If not, let us know some alternatives that helped you!

[@5989ayesha]

Yes..I did..

[@ashwinihr5068]

I did ask but before anaesthesiologist came in I delivered. Doctor did give pethidine injection

[@kkk99381]

I have asked as soon as my contractions started.

[@SabitaKumari-iy5ut]

Mam can you please make a video on pre term labour or premature delivery

[@aavyagurung123]

Nope

[@nikhilathupalli2856]

I took epidural during my delivery it was so smooth delivery I can feel the contractions but no pain at all I just took a deep breath and and exhaled with pressure in the stomach with 2 breathings like that the baby came out I was very active through out my pregnancy do some exercises for normal delivery and finally you will not get back pain with epidural even for 1 day

[@kanwalkhan397]

Is it safe later no any side effects

[@nikhilathupalli2856]

Yes it's completely safe I had delivered the baby 4 years back till date I don't have any back pain or any kind of side effects​@@kanwalkhan397

I’m in the US and epidurals are very common here. I had a normal delivery with epidural and it was the best decision ever. I had such a smooth labour and delivery. I’m glad hospitals in India have it now as well :)

[@marryangel9212]

What about stitches pain

[@Beadacut_]

I'm 7 months pregnant at 25. My first baby. I will also get epidural. I'm so scared. I'm also scared thinking about the stiches.

[@VirtualFamilyVlogs]

@marryangel I was lucky to not get any stitches. But I think even if you get, it heals pretty soon.

In the Philippines very few people can afford epidural bec it's quite expensive. So many women would rather choose to endure the excruciating pain of natural birth like myself. lucky if u don't labor for a long time.

I recently had cesarean delivery. There was no pain at all when the operation took place. Even at the time of injection it felt like a normal injection. So don't worry if you too have been prescribed cesarean delivery. Even after my delivery happened I was able to walk on my own after 24 hours.

[@sangeethanath9972]

Thank you ma'am for the amazing information.. presently I am in my 38 weeks 5 days of pregnancy and my BP is on higher side.. my doc has kept me in observation for 24 hrs..to monitor BP charting..however not reducing below 140/90 & do hasn't said anything.. request kindly guide please what are my chances of normal delivery? What should I do to lower my BP? What are the repercussions if it doesn't reduces?

[@gdhanalakshmi4622]

I was told that on taking this analgesia, my friend gave up her labour and was taken to c section. It inturn worsened the situation of whether she'll be able to deliver or die in process. That wa her testimony. Ofcourse things vary from person to person. Good doctor revealed the complete facts. Choice in patients hands

[@SukanyaKishan]

Even fully natural births can have complications too. It just depends on the person.

[@gdhanalakshmi4622]

@@SukanyaKishan Yes. U r right 👍

[@Anu4343]

This happened with me too. After epidural (because it was promoted as a completely safe route to painless delivery), I completely lost the sensation and would not know when to push… the baby’s heartbeats started to drop and I panicked further:-) So emergency cesarean was performed

[@SapnaScienceMam]

Hi mam, I have a few questions pls do answer and help me. I have scoliosis from birth and now I am pregnant with my first child, I am 38 years old. And doctor advised of c-section. It will involve epidural. I am concerned about my delivery by epidural, what if it dint work for me???

Hi doctor, Please tell the difference between epidural during normal delivery and C-sec. Is it same for both ? Or C sec needs different needle. Please please reply.

[@SanjenskSk-oy9ys]

Epidural anaesthesia and spinal anaesthesia are different...

[@doctorgeo8459]

Epidural is used for vaginal delivery using a low concentration of a drug (eg. 0.0625%). If the epidural is in place, and the vaginal delivery is converted into caeserian section, then the same drug is given in higher concentration ( 0.5%) through the same catheter, without using any other needle. However if you directly go for C section (epidural not in place) then, spinal anaesthesia will be given, using a finer needle, in single shot and different drug. Hope this clears your doubt 😊

Hi Ma’am, at the time of delivery everything was normal .. only the baby i was not able to push that hard .. the staff tried once by pushing my stomach only than they ask us to allow do C section .. as there threat for baby of eating her 1st inside stomach .. m still in shock .. was that right decision or i could have waited for little long ... 🙄

[@qrpcoaching8198]

That seems like the right decision

[@Anu4343]

My horror story with epidural: First delivery: Epidural made me so numb that I couldn’t feel contractions and just couldn’t push and had to go for emergency cesarean. Second delivery: Syringe drained out a little spinal fluid and I suffered from severe headache apparently the fix suggested was another surgery but I refused. I think they will not publish ever, the side effects of this kind of intervention, but please don’t make it a necessity unnecessarily.

[@pooja9810]

You are commenting on every single video of epidural.If anyone wants to do that,let them do it.Question is if your epidural in first delivery failed,why did you opted for epidural in second delivery too? .You could have refused it .

[@Anu4343]

@@pooja9810 After first cesarean your chances of natural birth is close to zero . Some opt for VBAC, but mostly it’s discouraged. You want to know the fun fact - in my case the second epidural didn’t work (medicine was not that potent is what I heard in OT 😳) so they gave me chloroform through nasal mask and guess what that my baby drowsy too :-( There is nothing wrong in spreading information. I want mothers to make informed choice about epidural. There are so many positive remarks too about epidural here in the comment section, but you didn’t like my comment. Why don’t we like different opinions? And despite us being so closed minded we chose words like - ‘let them do it’… You should not attack a person by saying how dare you share your story everywhere. You should let them do it too :-)

[@aroubasheikh8631]

I had epidural but it didnt work i felt every single contraction. After finishing the insertion of epidural the anesthesiologist asked me do i feel a little bit of pain relief and i said i didnot and then he left after that i asked the nurses why do i still feel pain and there is not even a slight difference in pain so she said that i am feeling that pain that's why its not working like what that doesnot make any sense. About at least 8 hours after delivery i said to my doc that the epidural didnt work and she said if that didn't work you will be still in pain. Well i had a terrible experience with epidural i think i will just choose a natural birth in second pregnancy 🥲
