    An epidural is where painkilling drugs are injected into your lower back, through a hollow needle between the small bones in your spine. A fine tube is then passed through the needle. Once the tube is in place, the needle is removed and the tube is taped up your back and over your shoulder. This is called a regional anaesthetic which means the drugs are injected around the nerves and then carry signals around your body to the spot that feels pain while in labour. The anaesthetic deadens the nerves which are carrying pain signals. Most hospitals use low-dose epidurals containing a mixture of painkilling drugs. The epidural makes your belly feel numb, giving you very effective pain relief.…

    Doula Supported Births

    • 634 Words
    • 3 Pages

    This review provides a clear pattern of evidence that shows doula-supported births lead to a reduction in cesarean rates. A reduction in cesarean rate can be explained due to the fact that doula-supported births are also shown to decrease the length of labor, the amount and type of analgesic used, factors that greatly influence cesarean births. The reduction of cesarean rates through the use of continuous doula support is relevant because it provides a way to minimize the negative health outcomes and complications of the mother and baby and promote crucial aspects of the birthing process. With these results, medical professionals can continue to implement and promote the use of doulas in the hospital setting.…

    Medical interventions are on a rise, but in-hospital recovery is in a serious decline. More women are opting for inducing labour and using epidurals, which put both mother and child at a higher risk, but hospital are sending them home earlier than they would have been even a decade ago. Before women used to stay, on average, 4 days after delivery, now they stay 1 or 2 days at most. With mother and child now having to face post-partum complications at home, emergency rooms have to pick up the slack of the maternity…

    One of the most positive experiences is bringing a child into this world. There are two ways that a baby can be delivered, vaginally and a cesarean section. Since the 1990s, cesarean sections have become the most common procedure in the United States. This procedure is necessary for certain circumstances, such as a breech baby or placental abruption. Some women are now preferring elective cesarean sections due to personal preference. There are nearly 1.4 million babies born surgically in the United States every year. This trend is due to an increase in elective cesarean sections that are not medically necessary. As with any surgery, there are always risks and complications involved. In this case, it's to both the mother and the baby. The cost…

    The drugs used in labor epidurals are powerful enough to numb, and even paralyze, the mother 's lower body, so it is not surprising that there can be significant side effects for mother and baby. These side effects range for minor to life threatening and depend, to some extent, on the specific drugs used. Epidurals offer laboring wemon the most effective form of pain relif avalible.
