PAINLESS NORMAL DELIVERY
EPIDURAL
The type of pain management required for labour and delivery will be different for each woman.
EPIDURAL
An epidural is a procedure that injects a local
anaesthetic in to the space around the spinal
nerves in your lower back. This blocks the pain
from labor contractions and during the birth
very effectively
ENTONOX
The gas given to women in labour is a mixture
of nitrous oxide and oxygen, sometimes
known as laughing gas. It helps lessen the pain
during a contraction. It is inhaled during a
contraction through a mask or mouthpiece.
There is no after effects to you or your baby.
