Throughout the thousands of years of human civilization, women have been responsible for the reproduction of life. The sweetness of a new marriage and the joy of pregnancy were accompanied by the great pain and fear of childbirth. Today, we can finally get rid of this problem that has plagued mothers for thousands of years. We are now promoting painless childbirth technology, which will enable you to give birth to a healthy baby with ease. With the improvement of living standard and the progress of science and technology, people are more and more pursuing a high quality of life. Painless childbirth is a kind of birth civilization, which reflects the degree of social progress from the side. It can reduce the unnecessary physical exertion of the mother during the delivery process, so that she can maintain her dignity during the delivery and fully enjoy the joy of the October pregnancy. 1. What is a painless delivery? Is it safe for mother and child? Painless delivery is an epidural analgesic technique administered by an anesthesiologist, in which a tube is punctured through the lumbar space of the mother’s spine and local anesthetic and analgesic drugs are injected under aseptic conditions. It is the same as conventional cesarean section, but with much less medication, and the amount of medication absorbed through the placenta is minimal and almost negligible. Domestic and foreign literature reports that this treatment has no significant adverse effects on the mother and fetus. 2.Does painless delivery prolong the labor time? No. The drugs used for painless delivery only selectively block the transmission of maternal nociceptive sensation, while the motor nerves are not affected. During delivery, the mother can move freely, and the abdominal muscle contractions and uterine contractions remain normal. On the contrary, after the pain is relieved, the mother’s spirit is completely relaxed, avoiding the fatigue caused by painful writhing, which facilitates the mother to exert herself under the guidance of the physician, thus accelerating the progress of labor. 3.Is painless delivery really completely painless? For natural childbirth, complete painlessness is bound to cause contractions to stop and lead to cesarean delivery, while pain is reduced from unbearable to bearable when painless delivery technology is used. 4. What if a woman who has a painless delivery has a cesarean delivery instead? If a woman needs to have a cesarean section due to other obstetric factors, there is no need to perform anesthesia, and the anesthesia catheter can be injected directly to meet the requirements of the operation, reducing the trauma and economic burden of the mother. 5.How to apply for painless delivery? The doctor will check the vital signs and delivery system of the mother and decide whether painless delivery can be performed according to the results of ultrasound, fetal monitoring and other auxiliary examinations, and if there is no contraindication for painless delivery, the anesthesiologist will be notified for preoperative preparation and the family will sign the application form for painless delivery, and the anesthesiologist will perform epidural block analgesia after the procedures are complete. 6.Who is not suitable for painless delivery? Epidural analgesia is suitable for most women who can deliver normally. It should be reminded that the use of painless delivery is prohibited for women with coagulation disorders, spinal deformities, local or systemic infections, women with low blood volume, and women with primary contraction weakness.
