In case of painless delivery, the vein that carries the sensation of pain generated in the vagina to the brain is put under the effect of anaesthesia which helps in the reduction of contraction pains generated during labor. The anaesthesia in case of painless deliveries is delivered via a tube. The anaesthesia is delivered through a very thin and flexible hollow tube into space just outside the membrane that surrounds the spinal cord and fluid. It is the most common method of relieving pain in case of labor. One of the major reasons because of which painless deliveries have gained momentum in India is the fact that it has a lot of benefits, the greatest of all, being the potential for the significant amount of reduction in pain while delivering. Though the patient might still be feeling contraction but the amount of pain is greatly reduced. In case of vaginal delivery, the patient can still move around and is well aware of the delivery.
There has been a gradual increase in the number of the painless delivery hospital in India. The use of anaesthesia in painless deliveries has increased the number of patients opting for painless deliveries by seventy-two per cent thereby indicating its popularity in various baby delivery hospitals in Delhi India as well. One major advantage of painless delivery is that the strength and amount of anesthesia to be given can be controlled which is quite important. Since the effect of medication is localized hence the patient is awake and has enough energy when it is time to push.
Although painless deliveries are very popular and have a lot of advantages it has certain downfalls as well. Some of the major risks that a patient is vulnerable to while opting for painless delivery are back pain and soreness, headaches, persistent bleeding, difficulty in breathing, and fever. Patients have been seen complaining of a severe drop in blood pressure. Despite these disadvantages, there are no harmful effects in a newborn. Although painless deliveries are a great option however not all women can opt for it. Those suffering from abnormally low blood pressure due to bleeding or any other reason are often advised not to opt for this type of delivery. Other than that woman who experiences bleeding disorders or blood infections are also asked to stay away from this type of delivery as it can be life-threatening for both the mother as well as the new born. Women who have previously had allergic reactions to anaesthesia and those who take blood-thinning medicines are also forbidden to undergo painless delivery.
