Painless Delivery and Labor

Book an Appointment

Pregnancy is a dream come true of all couples. The first time mothers are filled with apprehension and innumerable questions. They get their queries solved by consulting their elders and peers and now newsgroups. They develop misconceptions and fears regarding pregnancy and labor.

The perception of pain during labor and delivery varies between individuals. Specially, the first-time mothers need a proper antenatal counselling regarding good nutritious diet, antenatal exercises and physiology of labor pains. Here we shall only be dealing with labor & delivery.

Epidural anaesthesia is an advance in pain management during labor, which ensures that a pregnant woman has a comfortable labor. It is a regional anaesthesia in which an anaesthetic drug is injected near the spinal cord in the spinal canal.

Areas affected

It numbs the body below the waist, but the movements are not impaired.

Time of anaesthesia

It is administered when the patient is in active labor. It can be given as a single injection or in multiple doses through a special epidural catheter by a skilled anaesthetist.

Advantages

Almost complete relief from pain with the patient being mobile
No postpartum headache as in spinal anaesthesia
Mother is conscious and alert throughout the labor
An instrumental delivery can be performed under the same anaesthesia, if need arises
If the patient has to be taken for caesarean section, the effect can be topped up through the epidural catheter.

Disadvantages

Sudden drop in the blood pressure
Because of pelvic floor relaxation, baby's head may not rotate and forceps application may be required.
Slight increased rate of instrumental and caesarean deliveries.

A couple of years back when my uncle Dr D K Tandon was diagnosed with Dementia, we were looking for a decent place where he can be taken care of. We chanced upon Vardaan Senior Citizen centre. I spoke to Dr Rekha Khandelwal and found her to be quite empathetic & considerate in her approach. My uncle is staying in Vardaan for last couple of years and we are grateful to Dr Rekha and her staff for taking care of my uncle.

My mother, Manorama Devi, was a patient of Parkinson’s disease and paralysis. We were managing her at home but due to complications of the illness and lack of trained caregivers I had to shift her to Vardaan Senior Citizens Home. Vardaan is truly home away from home and the entire staff under the able guidance of both Dr Rekha Khandelwal and Dr Rajiv Khandelwal works tirelessly to make the senior citizens feel at home.
