Pain relief? - Page 2

emmylou92 · Apr 13th, 2012, 17:37 PM

I just had gas and air and i'm a right wimp. I point blank refuse epidurals. I cried having my tattoo done and its tiny. I think gas and air and water is good, but everyone is different

I think the most important thing it to have an open mind when I say that I mean try gas and air and water and give the 2 mins see if they start to help before righting the off a shit.

Last time I had a retained placenta and had to be put to sleep to have it removed because the place i gave birth did not do epidurals if the same thing happens again, i the hospital offer an epiduaral and I will REFUSE it and ask to be put to sleep as the recovery is quicker being put to sleep than an epi.

i'd love to stick to gas and air as i'm terrified of needles so no epi for me

if anything else is offered to me, i can just see me screaming JUST GIVE IT ME, I DON'T CAREEE!

Go in with an open mind! I had an epidural and it was great.

I know i probably sound like every other first time mum, but i only want to use water and gas & air, and chances are i won't get on with gas & air because it makes me feel sick.

last time I had an epi but my labor was quick got at the hosp at 530 am and my son was born at 1013 am..the epi was amazing, but this time I wan to try some medicine they give you in the IV I believe it works as gas and air just so I can experience it different but if I feel the need to get an epi I will get it

Either natural or an epidural, g&s made me thow up something chronic last time and i'm not keen on the idea of pethidine as my sister had it and really regretted it.

I had g&a for first 2 hours in labour, after 2 hours in labour I was 9cm dilated but my waters still hadnt gone so I opted for pethidine which was lovely I managed to doze of between contractions and it made the labour feel shorter than it was as it allowed me to doze of as it makes you drowsy.6 hours later I was still at 9cm and my waters still hadn't gone and they let me have a epidural as soon as I had the epi it took effect within 5-10 mins and was heaven, 30 mins after having epi my son was born I still felt when to push but i didnt feel the ring of fire x
