Brief Summary   This study is a randomised, prospective,open labled trial to evaluate the effect of combined spinal epidural analgesia during labour on post partum depression.The index group receiving the neuraxial block would be compared with the control normal vaginal delivery group for post partum depression, using the Edinburgh postnatal depression scale(EPDS) at 3 days and 6 weeks. The primary outcome measure would be prevalence(frequency in percentage) of post partum depression using EPDS questionnaire. The secondary outcome and observational measures would include Maternal satisfaction( based on score of Visual Analog scale), Pain score(VAS Score), Sensory and motor block characteristics, Haemodynamic parameters of mother, Foetal heart rate, Duration of second stage of labour, Mode of delivery, Apgar scores and adverse effects.
