A recent Indian Express health feature discussed walking epidurals as a labour pain relief option that may allow selected mothers to remain more mobile during childbirth while reducing pain. Dr. Anita Roy from Motherhood Hospitals explained that walking epidurals use lower doses of anaesthetic compared with traditional epidurals and may support comfort, movement, and a more active birthing experience, but require careful monitoring, hospital readiness, and proper medical guidance to ensure maternal and fetal safety.
