MAY PEN, Clarendon:

PREGNANT WOMEN using the maternity ward at the May Pen Hospital can now deliver their babies with less discomfort, with the launch of its epidural service there. In an interview, Dr. Cecily Thompson, consultant anaesthesiologist, explained that the service would greatly reduce the discomfort experienced during labour.

"Patients have a much more comfortable labour. The concept that 'pain brings baby' is not true. It is contractions that brings baby and epidural analgesia allows them to have the contractions without the pain and the baby still comes," she said.
