Natural childbirth refers to giving birth without medical interventions such as pain medication or forceps. However, an epidural is a common option for pain relief during this process. An epidural is a local anesthetic injected into the spinal column, blocking sensation from the waist down. It allows women to feel pressure and movement but eliminates pain. This method enables mothers to have a more active role in the delivery while experiencing reduced discomfort.
