Patient's question:
Now I'm nine months pregnant. In the evenings, when I take a nap, my abdomen always feels very hard, pressing me so that I can't breathe. I'm almost at the point of delivery. There's a hint of excitement, but also a hint of sadness. I'm sad about the pain of delivery and want to decide on the method of delivery. I don't know the difference between painless delivery and natural delivery. If painless delivery is really different, that would be great. I'm so sad.What kind of help do I need: What is painless delivery?
Doctor's answer:
"" is actually called "labor analgesia" in medical terms. It involves using various methods to reduce or even eliminate the pain during labor. Labor analgesia allows expectant mothers to avoid the torment of pain, reduces fear during labor and postpartum fatigue, and provides them with rest during the longest second stage of labor. When the cervix is fully dilated, they accumulate enough strength to complete the labor successfully due to the energy reserves. The most widely used method in international medical practice is when an anesthesiologist administers anesthetic medication to the outer layer of the dura mater outside the spine. This allows the mother to remain conscious, move normally, and relatively easily complete the labor process with pelvic muscles relaxed and labor pain increased by about 80-90%.
