Painless Delivery at Nirmala Hospital
Painless delivery, also known as epidural analgesia, is a widely used labour pain management technique that allows women to experience a more comfortable and less painful childbirth. At Nirmala Hospital, we offer painless delivery as part of our comprehensive maternity care services, ensuring a safe and effective approach to managing labour pain while prioritising the health and safety of both mother and baby.
What is Epidural Analgesia?
Epidural analgesia involves the administration of pain-relieving medication through a catheter placed in the epidural space of the spine. This technique blocks pain signals from the lower body while allowing the mother to remain awake and actively participate in the birthing process.
Combined Spinal-Epidural (CSE)
The Combined Spinal-Epidural (CSE) technique combines the benefits of both spinal and epidural analgesia. It provides rapid pain relief through spinal analgesia while maintaining the flexibility of continuous pain management through the epidural catheter. CSE is especially effective in cases of prolonged labour or when precise control of pain relief is required.
Indications for Painless Delivery
Have a low pain tolerance or a strong desire to avoid labour pain.
Experience prolonged labour and need relief from intense and sustained contractions.
Have specific medical conditions that make pain management during labour critical.
Are undergoing a vaginal delivery after a previous caesarean section (VBAC) and wish to manage pain effectively.
FAQs
What are the symptoms of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes?
Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy when the body cannot produce enough insulin to meet the extra needs of pregnancy. It affects both the mother and baby, requiring careful management to ensure a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
