Painless Birth With Epidural Anaesthesia

It is a procedure in which, by entering through a suitable space in the spine with the help of a catheter and giving anaesthetic substance drop by drop like a drip, the feeling of pain below the waist is prevented. Since eighty per cent of the pregnant woman’s pains are blocked, a comfortable birth is achieved. However, the procedure is carried out after the cervix has dilated to 4 cm. In the pushing stage the dose of the medicine is reduced so that the woman feels the urge to push and thus takes an active part in the birth. If you are considering such a birth, talk about it with your doctor and find out whether there is someone in the hospital where you will give birth who is expert in this subject and, if so, under what conditions it is applied. Epidural anaesthesia can be used both in a normal birth and in a caesarean section. Every expectant mother wants to have a painless birth. Pain is a complex and unpleasant perception that can arise from any tissue. The treatment of pain has for long years been at the head of the most current and most studied subjects in medicine. Normal labour is a severely painful event. The studies carried out with the desire to give the mother a comfortable and painless birth have in the end yielded results. Since the beginning of this century, expectant mothers around the world have been helped during labour using different techniques. In painless birth the most reliable and comfortable technique is provided with epidural anaesthesia.
