Painless childbirth uses spinal anesthesia technology.

The drug only acts on local nerves, does not enter the mother’s blood circulation, and has no effect on the fetus.

Blocking pain signals through spinal anesthesia can reduce the pain of parturients from “level 10 severe pain” to “tolerable soreness and swelling”;

In addition, painless childbirth can preserve the mother’s feeling of uterine contractions and ability to move, so she doesn’t have to worry about not being able to exert strength at critical moments.

Finally, (expectant) mothers, I want to tell you————

Scientific pain relief is a double protection for mother and baby. Not only those who are willing to endure level 10 pain are considered “good mothers”.
