My doctor mentioned something about an epidural for pain relief during labor, but I don't really know what it is. Can someone explain to me what an epidural is and how it works during pregnancy and delivery?
It is basically a pain relief injection given in your spine during active labor. I took it during my delivery 2 years ago, and honestly, it was a lifesaver. Don't be scared of the rumors, it really helps you stay calm.
It is an anesthetic injection given in the lower back to numb labor pain. Ask your hospital about the cost and availability of an anesthetist beforehand. It helps you save your energy for pushing the baby.
Epidural matlab deliver ke time jo back me pain relief injection dete hain na, wahi. Pain bilkul gayab ho jata hai, ho na? It makes normal delivery much easier, ask your doc about it.
I was so terrified of epidurals, thinking what if it hurts my back forever! It is a needle in the spine to block labor pain. Actually, many of my friends took it and they are totally fine, so don't worry like I did, just discuss with your doctor.
