DELIVERY WITH EPIDURAL ANALGESIA (PAINLESS DELIVERY)

Epidural analgesia is a procedure that prevents the sensation of pain below the waist by administering an anesthetic agent with the help of a catheter from the lumbar spine from the lumbar part of the expectant mother before normal birth. The pains of birth are felt as contraction and pressure in the abdomen and groin, pain and pain are not felt.
Before the cesarean section, "spinal anesthesia" is performed similarly. Epidural analgesia or combined epidural-spinal method can be applied in cesarean section. The mother does not feel any pain about the lower part of her body during cesarean section. The mother can see her baby as soon as she is born during the operation.
In normal delivery, the procedure should be applied when the cervix is ​​about 4 cm and the pains of the mother begin to occur regularly. Doing so may slow down labor by reducing contractions. Sometimes, although it is done at the appropriate time, it can still cause prolongation in the second phase of birth.
During the application, the mother sits so that her waist is outside. The area to be treated is cleaned with an antiseptic solution and numbed with local anesthesia. Then, medicine is given to the epidural space in the spinal cord from the lumbar region with a special fine needle. Usually, a catheter is left in this range to be able to re-administer the drug later. This catheter is withdrawn 1 day after cesarean immediately after normal delivery. In normal delivery, less drug is administered in epidural anesthesia than in epidural anesthesia in cesarean section, so that the mother can move her legs. In the caesarean section, she cannot move her legs.
Rarely, there may be temporary headache after the procedure. There may be a temporary difficulty in urinating.
Does the medication given to the mother for painless delivery harm the baby?
These drugs will not harm the baby when given in a proper dose in a special area. On the contrary, the amount of oxygen going to the baby increases as the mother ceases to shout and starts to breathe properly. When the baby is born, it becomes more lively and active.
Is the claim that mothers who have had a painless birth "cripple" may be correct?
Catheters used in painless delivery are placed outside the membranes covering the spinal cord. In other words, 'water' is not taken from the mother's waist. When done in accordance with the technique, painless delivery has no harm to the mother. On the contrary, since the mother does not feel pain, she does not get hurt and does not get tired during childbirth. Along with uterine contractions, the mother helps her birth by holding her breath and pushing. After giving birth, she becomes cared for her baby as soon as possible.
