Because your birth experience matters, not just the outcome.

At Butterfly Hospitals, we understand that every woman’s labour experience is unique—and so are her fears and expectations. If you're anxious about the pain of childbirth but still want to experience a normal delivery, painless delivery might be the right option for you.

What is Painless Delivery?

Painless delivery refers to a vaginal birth with the help of epidural anesthesia—a safe and effective way to manage labour pain. The goal is not to eliminate all sensation, but to ease pain while allowing you to stay alert, active, and able to push during delivery.

An epidural is administered in your lower back by our skilled anesthesiologist. Within 10–15 minutes, the medication begins to numb the lower half of your body, making the birthing process much more manageable while still keeping it natural.

Types of Epidurals We Offer:

🩺 Epidural with Catheter
A thin, flexible catheter is gently inserted into the lower back and left in place. This allows for:
Continuous or additional doses of pain relief throughout labour
Steady management of discomfort
Maximum control with minimal intervention

🩺 Combined Spinal-Epidural (Walking Epidural)

This approach combines a spinal injection for quick relief and an epidural catheter for ongoing pain management.

Benefits include:

Faster onset of pain relief
Lower doses of medication
Retained sensation and mobility so you can change positions and stay involved in the birthing process

How the Process Works:

At Butterfly, we ensure you’re comfortable and well-informed before we begin. Here’s what to expect:
You’ll be gently positioned (usually sitting or lying on your side in a curled posture).
A local anesthetic is given before placing the epidural catheter.
The medication is delivered into the epidural space to block pain signals.
You remain awake, aware, and in control, able to push when the time comes.
Our team monitors both you and your baby closely for safety and comfort.

Why Women Choose Painless Delivery at Butterfly Hospitals:
