ABSTRACT:

Most of these issues occur in developing world. Labour pain and labour pain relief play at best a minor role in satisfaction ratings, except when expectations go unmet. Each woman comes into labour room with her own set of expectations, fears, preparation, pain thresholds, personality and behavioral makeup and ways of experiencing what is happening to her which has to be managed effectively according to them.Women are now requesting for a pain free labour. The cochraine review summarizes the efficacy and safety of pharmacological and non pharmacological interventions to manage pain during labour. Considerable evidence from large placebo controlled trials and comparative studies suggest the epidurals (including controlled spinal epidural) and inhaled analgesia are more effective in controlling pain but have severe adverse effect. When a woman feels she is successfully meeting a challenge and she is centre of loving attention, she may experience a sense of exhilaration and zest even while in great pain. If she feels helpless and unable to cope up or people are not treating her with respect she will suffer regardless of the pain level.
