Is painless delivery really painless? Does painless delivery affect the fetus
4hw.com.cn: now that science and technology are developed, painless delivery can also be selected. However, many pregnant women are curious whether painless delivery is really painless. Let's have a look.
Painless childbirth is not completely painless. Painless delivery is called 'labor analgesia' in medicine. Its purpose is to effectively alleviate labor pain, rather than let labor pain disappear. The main function of labor analgesia is to increase uterine blood flow and reduce the adverse effects caused by excessive ventilation or eczema.
The implementation of painless delivery is based on the highest principle of maintaining the safety of mother and fetus. The drug concentration and dose used are far lower than that of cesarean section anesthesia. There is little drug passing through placenta, so it has no adverse effect on fetus.
Some side effects may occur during painless delivery, such as temporary shaking, hypotension and vomiting, while headache, backache, infection, cramp, drug allergy or incomplete anesthesia and analgesia are less common.
