consultants 'advised' me against having pethidine or diamorphine due to my heart being fast... he said he wouldnt like me to have them but its my choice but he pretty much thinks its gas and air or epidural im annoyed as i reallllly didnt want an epidural and he thinks having no pain relief is also a bad idea as my heart will get tired quicker and said i hav high risk of a csect! it just makes me laugh the way they say my heart wont be a problem in labour but then come back with 'oh your heart might get too tired' ... hmmmm feel stuck! he said not to write a birth plan eitha as there wont be much point! just wondering what would u ladies do ? i mean would u take the risk of trying the pethidine or just go straight for the epi?? hes said if my heart went 'too fast' they could correct it ..which is why im wondering why i cant just have the pethidine and then they keep my heart under control! ahh feel stuck and really worried about labour now i said to him that i should be worrying about if the babys going to be ok rather than if the pain reliefs gna kill me pretty much urgh!! sorry little rant over! lol xxx
