Abstract
In a prospective study of 100 primigravidae, 50 women had a forceps delivery under epidural block and 50 women had a forceps delivery under pudendal nerve block with perineal infiltration. There was no significant difference in the incidence of postpartum headache, upsets of micturition and backache between the two groups.Keywords
