Summary
Our study is about providing a better birthing experience by placing and initiating epidural
for labour pain before the contractions start. This concept of prevention of pain before its
onset is known as preventive - or preemptive -pain management and is well known in surgical
and anaesthetic practice. We believe that the use of preventive epidural analgesia will
improve the quality of labour epidurals, increase maternal satisfaction and reduce the stress
response to labour and delivery.
