84Epidural Anesthesia For Painless Way of Giving Birth
Epidural Anesthesia For Painless Way of Giving Birth. Mostly women can endure the pain of giving birth, but when time comes that a woman is having prolonged labor and the baby is not yet coming out, doctors usually treat the woman to induce labor and also have the option painless way of giving birth. I experienced this one and it is one way in which there is localized anesthesia given to the mother to make half of the body numbed and go through the labor process and giving birth without pain. Epidural anesthesia is also the same as painless birth. It is obvious that this is not natural way of giving birth as it usually remove the pain from the mother. Some women say that this is robbing the women of true experience of childbirth.
In my own opinion, I would like for myself to experience the joy of giving birth naturally, that is why I was only given epidural anesthesia when I cannot take the pain anymore, otherwise I would like to continue the labor pains but the baby is stressed out already so I decided to avail of it. The natural ways of giving birth which I discussed in some of my hubs are the best way to give birth. If you have complications or your pregnancy is at risk, always talk to your health provider about options.

Interesting.
"I think that epidural anesthesia remove the experience from the mother of the true meaning of giving birth." This may be true, but if I was in this situation, I would definitely prefer the experience be as painless as possible.
Love and hugs,
Forever His,
Just peeping to see what is happening in this hub,seems like an online labour room.But this method of birth giving would be my preferred one, if I were a woman. Thanks :)
I am sorry but I can't understand why women want to suffer all that pain if there is the epidural anethesia. Very good hub and very explanatory. Thank you.
I suppose so-called "native" women give birth so naturally that they scarsely interrupt their work, be it carrying jugs of water from the stream or thrashing grain in the fields. They're portrayed as just stopping in the path, squatting, picking up the new baby and going on down the path!
Maita - with all the modern improvements, what have we to equal that?
Maita, When my children were born there was always a concern about any drugs being used at the time of birthing.
But for my kids it never created any problems. Maybe I'm just blessed .

Nice article very informative. I believe that a pregnant woman should know all her options about pain relief before she go to labor. Thanks, Maita.
I wanted an epidural with my first one. I had three more after. My second I didn't. Wish I had. My last two I didn't need it. They practically flew out of me. The down side is after 19 years of having the first and last epidural, my back still hurts when it's cold or rains. go figure?
Hi JO, Yes, our grandparents will know that as they didn't experience those things, my grandmother told me that it will have side effects. For some women, giving birth is difficult you are lucky, you have no difficulty. Thanks for the read.

Good information on epidural anesthesia. I admire women who can endure the pain and are determined to give birth the natural way. As for me, I'll opt for epidural because the process of birthing is traumatizing enough.Thanks, Maita!
