Is it permissible to use a local anesthetic for the lower body to facilitate a pain-free birth?

The use of anesthesia for a pregnant woman is forbidden except in cases of necessity or need. If the birth is natural, its use is not recommended. However, if it is not natural or the woman cannot endure the pain, then there is no harm in it, bearing in mind that epidural anesthesia may lead to the suppression of uterine contractions and delay the baby's exit. The reference for this is to the specialists.
