A thoughtful, individualized approach.
Painless delivery commonly refers to epidural analgesia, which can substantially reduce labour pain while allowing the mother to remain awake and participate in birth. An obstetric and anaesthesia assessment is required to discuss timing, suitability, benefits and possible risks.
Your care team will explain the process, likely timeline, alternatives and follow-up before care begins.
