Understanding Painless Delivery

What is Painless Delivery?

Painless delivery, also known as labour with epidural analgesia, allows you to have a vaginal birth while managing labour pain. A small catheter is placed in the lower back to deliver continuous pain relief medication, enabling you to remain awake, alert, and comfortable throughout labour.

At Dhanya Hospitals, the obstetrics and anaesthesia teams work together to plan pain management options appropriate for each individual pregnancy. The anaesthetist will assess your medical history and the progress of labour before administering any pain relief.

Suitability is assessed individuallyNot all pregnancies are suitable for epidural pain relief. Your obstetric and anaesthesia team will evaluate your specific circumstances during antenatal care and at the time of admission.
Benefits

Why Consider Epidural Pain Relief

Clinically Safe

Administered by a qualified anaesthetist and used widely in hospitals globally for decades.

Adjustable Pain Relief

Medication levels can be adjusted to provide effective relief while preserving mobility when possible.

Reduced Stress Response

Managing pain well reduces stress on both mother and baby during the birthing process.

Planned and Prepared

The anaesthesia team assesses suitability in advance so you know exactly what to expect.

Safe for Baby

Epidural anaesthesia is considered safe for the baby when appropriately administered and monitored.
