Childbirth is a special event for women. Maternal satisfaction regarding childbirth is quite important, that is why this factor has to be taken into account. A bad experience related to childbirth could lead to serious psychological and organic consequences such as postpartum depression, mother-baby bond deterioration and chronic pelvic pain. Childbirth image changed over the years to the extent that an increasingly physiological process keeping analgesia and safety is more and more desired. In this perspective, this study aims to investigate an approach so-called ambulatory epidural. Indeed, only a few studies have been conducted and the ones published in 1990s did not involve the current recommended pharmacological protocols.
