Is painless delivery safe? Is painless delivery really painless? Can labour be painless? Is epidural birth same as natural birth? If you are one among those women, who plan to have a c-section only because of the fear of labor pains or if you have a question “how to get normal delivery without pain?”; you have another option to bring your baby into this world without pain, known as “Painless delivery” or “Epidural delivery”. Almost everyone knows the severity of the pain a woman has during natural birth. The pain a woman experiences during the process of childbirth is considered to be the most severe form of pain. And the survival after delivery is considered as the rebirth of the woman.
