They do exist. in any case labour pains start as mild cramps then slowly become more intense. its the body's way of enabling you cope with the pain. Its not as bad as depicted in the movies You have clearly never seen a woman in labour!! Ahem! Excuse me! I have 2 children both delivered normally. Anyway the experience is different for every woman. Exactly!! Every womans experience is different. I have seen nduramaa worse than that you are talking about in the movies. The hospital curtains were almost swallowed whole

Not one to delve into matters I haven't capacity to experience, but I have been drawn from my thicket by some of the comments here which are misleading and scaring the mother to be. YES Vallerie, there is epidural in Kenya. My wife went through it and I was there all through. It's safe but KEY is to get the right Anaesthetic/ specialist in that. There is a lady in Aga Khan who was recommended to my wife by her daktari and she turned out to be very professional and experienced, she will take you through the entire process and I actually watched it and it didn't look that complex. I will look for her name and drop it to you but get your recommendation from your Ob/gyna as well.
Bottom line it is done, but must warn you it's not fully painless because I understand she must leave some pain with you for you to to track the natural steps in the process and safeguard the baby during birth. Must warn you it will set you back 40 - 50 elephants! but I understand it's worth it and has no side effects really. So if you really think its the thing for you...feelanga free

From a lay male perspective, it appears choice of gynecologist and pediatrician and their performance will be much more critical as relates to this method of pain relief.
Once you have expressed your preference, do not get in their way!

I'm a physician and my wife had an epidural about 18 months ago. No complications to mother or baby whatsoever. In my view there is absolutely no benefit in writhing around in pain for hours on end. An epidural is a straight forward procedure which any competent anaesthetist can perform. Your obstetrician should be able to recommend one. We will definitely be having another epidural for number 2.

Aaaiiii1
Having sex can be both painful and/or a pleasure!
Either which way, its a choice that leads to being pregnant and birth follows eventually.....
