Pain perception and maternal expectations may significantly differ from one parturient to another. Is it a matter of genetics, parity, age, paternal presence... ? If a vaginal delivery is a natural process, can anaesthesia for C-section be modified accordingly ? Similarly the Mother Friendly Hospital Initiative insists on solid food intake during labour regardless of the analgesia technique used. Can we agree with such proposal without restrictions ? Ultrasonography may actually help us to evaluate gastric emptying in a parturient which is always at risk for a C-section while labour analgesia is not always successfully converted into satisfactory surgical anaesthesia.
