- Our Approach
Your Journey to a Comfortable Delivery
From education through delivery — comprehensive pain management support
1
Antenatal Pain-Relief Counselling
During your pregnancy, we discuss all pain management options including epidural, non-pharmacological techniques, and other medical options. We explain how epidural works, what to expect during placement, potential side effects, and address any concerns or myths. This education helps you make an informed decision before labour begins, though you can always change your mind during labour.
2
Admission & Labour Assessment
When you arrive in labour, we assess your progress, baby's wellbeing, and your pain level. If you request epidural, we review your medical history for any contraindications and explain the procedure again. We support you with non-pharmacological methods while preparing for epidural if desired, or throughout labour if you choose not to have one.
3
Epidural Placement by Specialist Anaesthesiologist
Our experienced anaesthesiologist explains the procedure, positions you comfortably, and administers the epidural. The procedure takes about 10-15 minutes, with pain relief beginning within 10-20 minutes. We continuously monitor your blood pressure, baby's heart rate, and your comfort level, adjusting the medication as needed throughout labour.
4
Monitored Labour & Delivery
With epidural in place, you can rest, relax, or even sleep between contractions. Our team monitors your labour progress and guides you through pushing when fully dilated. Most women can push effectively with epidural, and we support different pushing positions. After delivery, the epidural catheter is removed, and sensation returns to normal within a few hours.
- FAQS
Helping You Understand Painless Delivery
Many women have questions and concerns about epidural and painless delivery. We’ve answered the most common ones here, addressing both medical facts and cultural myths.
Is epidural safe for me and my baby?
Yes, epidural is very safe when administered by trained professionals. Extensive research shows epidural does not harm babies — the medication primarily stays in the mother's bloodstream and very little reaches the baby. Serious complications are rare. Our anaesthesiologists screen for contraindications and monitor you closely throughout to ensure safety.
Does epidural increase the chance of needing a C-section?
No — large studies show that epidural, when used appropriately, does not increase the risk of C-section. While epidural can sometimes slow labour slightly, this is managed with medication adjustments if needed. The decision for C-section is based on medical necessity, not epidural use.
Can epidural cause paralysis or permanent back pain?
This is a common myth. Permanent paralysis from epidural is extremely rare — the needle is placed in the epidural space, well away from the spinal cord. Some women experience temporary back soreness at the insertion site, similar to any injection, which resolves within days. There is no evidence that epidural causes chronic back pain.
Will I be able to push effectively with epidural?
Yes, most women can push effectively with epidural. Modern low-dose techniques preserve enough sensation to feel pressure and push when instructed. Our team guides you through pushing, and we can adjust the epidural if needed to allow more sensation for pushing while maintaining comfort.
When is the best time to get an epidural?
You can request epidural at any point during active labour when you're having regular, painful contractions. There's no 'too early' if you're in active labour and want pain relief. Some women wait until contractions are very strong, while others prefer earlier relief. The choice is yours, and we support your decision.
