      Some mothers believe that anesthesia injections during painless delivery or caesarean section will hurt the lumbar spine. Is this true?

      Painless childbirth surgeries are performed by obstetric anesthesiologists, who inject anesthetic into the dura mater on the outer layer of the spine. The anesthetic will relax the pelvic muscles, reducing labor pain by more than 90%, and will not harm the spine.

      When is the time to perform painless delivery? Uterus After the neck is opened two fingers and the uterine wall is thinned, injection before then will delay the labor process. Painless delivery by injection can occasionally cause the expectant mother's blood pressure to become lower, resulting in fetus The heartbeat will also drop a little. At this time, the patient will be observed for 15 to 20 minutes. If there is any abnormality, intravenous medication will be given immediately, which will not cause permanent harm to the fetus.

      low back pain Most of the causes are caused by other reasons such as posture or hormones, and are not directly related to painless delivery.

      The doctor reminds: If there is a good painless delivery service, you should make good use of it. There is no need to use a rat trap. 》》》 How to give birth to a boy easily 8a habit
