Abstract
Summary: A prospective trial compared 100 normal labouring women who had epidural analgesia with 102 similar women given conventional analgesia. Fetal welfare was assessed by five parameters. Statistical analysis of these parameters in the two groups shows that babies born to mothers who had epidural analgesia were in better condition.Keywords
