I am an expert of epidural and given a lot of epidural anaesthesia, for operations and also for analgesia in normal deliveries.
my experience is :
I leave a catheter in every patient of normal delivery, Now we can have effect for any length of time. No need to add any narcotics.
These ladies never feel numbness in legs,
They keep walking, no weakness in legs
There is no fall of blood pressure I say no change in BP before and after
She will have full control on urination. No catheter is needed.

Labor pain causes spasm in circular muscles and shuts the out let. The epidural break this spasm of circular muscles of pelvis, open the out let and make the passage wide, thus it reduces the delivery time moderately. Longer labor is cut short. There is no change, in FHR. No need of pitocin.

The epidural has no effect on contractions of uterus, The contraction of uterus will remain normal. There is no change in bearing down efforts. She will push with more force, which was restricted due to pain.

The passage was narrowed before caused by spasm of pelvic muscles due to pain becomes more wide and give more room to the foetus to slip down without any pressure.

No headache is reported so far, we don’t puncture the dura, as in spinal. No complication is experienced

I did my post graduation in Anaesthesia from U.K. and worked with Lee who is well known in world for epidural anaesthesia. I have given about 40,000 epidural for operations, Backaches, Sciatica pain, Painless deliveries. I am here to develop confidence of ladies for painless labor and make it popular
