How It Is Administered

There are many pain relief options for a laboring mother. One of the most widely known and used is an epidural. So, how is one actually administered?

-The anaesthesiologist will tell you to bend over the bed and curl your back out
-A local anesthetic is given in the spot where the
epidural will be placed
-A small sterile plastic tube is inserted and then taped in place
-Pain medication is administered through this small tube and most mothers feel relief within
10-15 minutes.

The Drink

Before the epidural is administered, you will be given a very sweet and sour liquid to drink. This liquid will help to combat any nausea from the epidural.

When Will You Get One?

When Will I Need It?

If you did not already have an IV administered upon arriving at the hospital, the nurse will administer one before the operation. The IV is necessary to give you necessary fluids, and any medications that are needed.

Spinal Anaesthesia-How It Is Administered

In most cases, the anaesthesiologist will require that you sit up, with your ankles at the foot of the bed. You will literally curve your back by bending down and over a pillow or clutching your knees.
