Fear of pain makes cesarean section the only option for women in hospitals that do not offer labor pain relief. According to some data, when the cesarean section rate is below 20%, the perinatal mortality rate gradually decreases, but when the cesarean section rate exceeds 25%, the perinatal mortality rate will no longer decrease due to the increase of the cesarean section rate, but on the contrary, there is a danger of increasing. 2.

In fact, some developed countries have already regarded labor analgesia as a kind of women’s right. According to Hong Kong media reports, on the eve of International Women’s Day in 2004, Italy’s Lower House of Parliament passed a motion by a vote of 421 to 3 to introduce free epidural analgesia for women to have a ‘painless labor and delivery’. 4.
