Painless birth with peridural anaesthesia
Peridural anaesthesia means injecting a locally effective anaesthetic near the main nerves in your vertebral canal, which transmit pain during childbirth. You can choose your position for childbirth while the pain reduction increases your stamina and capability to push. An anaesthetist is always around to monitor the effectiveness of anaesthesia and guarantee the wellbeing of you and your baby.
At our birth preparations sessions anaesthetists explain the different methods in detail and with illustrations. We also invite you for a pre-anaesthetic consultation. You can make your appointment through the office of the Medical Director, by calling: +43 (0)1 36 0 36 6019.
Planned C-section
If you wish a C-section or it besomes necessary, you will receive local anaesthesia. Compared to full anaesthesia, advantages are numerous, especially the reduced impact on your baby by the anaesthetics. Mothers also experience the childbirth more actively, have contact with their newborn imediately, feel better and the risk of nausea is greatly reduced.
