Frequently Asked Questions

Is epidural analgesia safe for the baby?+
Yes. Epidural analgesia is widely used and extensively studied. It does not cross the placenta in significant amounts, and the baby is continuously monitored throughout labour to ensure wellbeing.
Will I be able to push during delivery?+
Yes. Modern epidurals are designed to relieve pain while preserving enough sensation and muscle strength for effective pushing during the second stage of labour.
What is the difference between a normal delivery and painless normal delivery?+
Both result in a vaginal (normal) delivery. In painless delivery, an epidural is used to manage labour pain — the process and outcome are the same, but significantly more comfortable for the mother.
Is every pregnant woman eligible for painless delivery?+
Most women are eligible. However, certain conditions (blood clotting disorders, spinal abnormalities, active infections) may be contraindications. Our obstetrician will assess your suitability during consultation.
Can I choose not to have the epidural once it starts?+
Yes. The epidural can be stopped at any time if you choose, and the effects will gradually wear off. You remain in full control of your birthing experience.
How early should I consult regarding painless delivery?+
Ideally discuss this with our obstetrician during your 36–37 week visit so that your birth plan is prepared in advance. Emergency consultations are also available.
