Labor pain is often one of the biggest fears among expecting mothers. At Dixit Hospital and Harshai IVF Centre, we believe that every woman deserves a childbirth experience that is not only safe but also as comfortable as possible. That’s why we offer Painless Delivery through Epidural Analgesia, a modern and medically proven method to reduce the intensity of labor pain—allowing you to stay calm, relaxed, and fully present during the most precious moment of your life.
Our team of experienced obstetricians and anesthetists ensures that your delivery is handled with expert care, close monitoring, and utmost compassion. Whether you’re a first-time mom or have been through childbirth before, painless delivery can make a world of difference in your birthing experience.
Painless delivery refers to a normal vaginal delivery assisted with epidural anesthesia. An epidural is a type of local anesthesia injected into the lower back that blocks pain in the lower half of the body without affecting your ability to push during labor. It significantly reduces the pain while keeping you awake and aware of your surroundings.
Epidural is considered safe for both the mother and the baby and is widely used in modern maternity hospitals across the world.
During labor, when the pain becomes intense or when you’re about 4–5 cm dilated, a skilled anesthetist will administer the epidural:
A small area on your lower back is numbed with a local anesthetic.
A thin, flexible tube (catheter) is inserted into the epidural space near your spinal cord.
Through this catheter, continuous medication is given to block pain signals from the uterus and lower body.
You’ll feel pressure and contractions, but the pain will be significantly reduced or eliminated. You remain conscious, can still move, and are able to actively participate in the birthing process.
Most women in normal or low-risk labor can opt for an epidural, but it’s best suited for those who:
Have a low pain threshold or anxiety about labor pain
Are having a prolonged or difficult labor
Have a low-lying placenta or breech position (combined with vaginal delivery)
Have prior painful birth experiences and want a better experience
Are delivering twins or multiples vaginally
Are medically advised to conserve energy during labor
Our team conducts a complete assessment before administering epidural to ensure it’s safe and suitable for you.

Yes, when administered correctly, epidural is safe for both mother and baby. It does not affect your ability to breastfeed and has no long-term impact on the baby’s health. Temporary side effects like shivering or mild backache can occur but are manageable and usually subside within a few hours.
At Dixit Hospital and Harshai IVF Centre, epidurals are administered by experienced anesthetists in a sterile, controlled environment with 24/7 monitoring of both the mother and the baby.
