Painless Delivery

Painless delivery, also known as epidural anesthesia, is a method of pain management during childbirth that allows mothers to experience minimal or no pain while remaining awake and alert. This technique involves administering medication through an epidural, which numbs the lower half of the body while allowing the mother to actively participate in the delivery process. Dr. Kanchi Khurana, a renowned obstetrician, specializes in providing safe and effective painless delivery options for expectant mothers.

Painless delivery is achieved through epidural anesthesia, a safe and widely used method. Here’s how it works:

Administration:

• A local anesthetic is injected into the lower back, near the spinal cord, using a thin catheter.
• The medication blocks pain signals from reaching the brain, numbing the lower body.

Effectiveness:

• Pain relief begins within 10-20 minutes and can be adjusted as needed.
• The mother remains conscious and can push during delivery.

Monitoring:

• Dr. Kanchi Khurana and her team closely monitor the mother and baby throughout the process to ensure safety.

Painless delivery offers several advantages for expectant mothers:

• Reduced Pain: Eliminates or significantly reduces labor pain.
• Increased Comfort: Allows mothers to relax and conserve energy for pushing.
• Active Participation: Mothers remain awake and can actively participate in the delivery process.
• Safe for Baby: The medication used does not harm the baby.
• Flexibility: The epidural can be adjusted or stopped if needed.

Painless delivery is suitable for most women, but it is especially beneficial for:

• First-time mothers who may be anxious about labor pain.
• Women with a low pain threshold.
• Those experiencing prolonged or complicated labor.
• Mothers who prefer a more comfortable birthing experience.
• Dr. Kanchi Khurana will evaluate your medical history and discuss whether painless delivery is the right option for you.
