labour. A trained doctor places a thin, soft tube in your lower back. The tube sits near the nerves that carry pain from your womb. Pain medicine flows through the tube and blocks those signals.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You stay awake the whole time and still feel pressure as labour moves forward, but the sharp pain fades. This is why many people link an <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rrmsh.com\/services\/painless-normal-delivery\">epidural with painless delivery<\/a><\/strong>. Many women say it helps them rest and enjoy the birth.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0bfe96a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"0bfe96a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How Is an Epidural Given During Labour?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b68dbb0 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b68dbb0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Knowing the steps can ease your mind.

The nurse checks your blood pressure, pulse, and your baby&#8217;s heartbeat during this time. If pain returns, the doctor adds more medicine through the same tube.
