Reasons for Pain Relief
Although pregnancy is not diseased state, it is associated with marked physiological changes. A painful labour has detrimental effects on the mother and foetus, because of widespread metabolic disturbances in the mother.
Explanation
Labour pain arises from uterine contraction during delivery in a periodic manner. When contraction comes, patient gets pain. She usually hyperventilates (takes more breathing) in response to severe pain which interferes with foetal oxygenation. When that contraction goes off, the patient gets tired. This causes Hypoventilation which also worsens foetal oxygenation. Mothers with respiratory diseases (e.g. Asthma COPD etc.) are affected more.
The cyclical increase of pain also increase in pulse rate and blood pressure which is detrimental to a hypertensive mother as well as the mother with cardiac diseases.
The body physiology of primies, who are to experience labour pain for the first time, is affected more by labour pain due to fear & anxiety about childbirth.
