The truth about painless injections is that 90% of Vietnamese mothers still misunderstand for a long time

What is a "painless" injection?

Labor is always a fear, obsession for women when giving birth. This easily affects the mind and physiology of women. Therefore, epidural anesthesia is the method that many mothers choose today. However, there is quite a bit of skepticism now and word of mouth about this "painless birth" method.

In hospitals, nose pain reduction by method of analgesia by epidural anesthesia is usually calculated in addition to the cost of delivery, ranging from 1.5 to 2 million VND / nose.
