Summary

This prospective, single-center study aims to evaluate the effects of epidural analgesia on maternal-infant bonding and perceived birth-related trauma in women undergoing vaginal delivery. Participants will be divided into two groups: those who receive epidural analgesia and those who deliver without it. Standardized questionnaires will be used to assess pain perception, maternal satisfaction, and the quality of early bonding between mother and infant. The study is designed in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and Good Clinical Practice guidelines, with approval from the local ethics committee.
