Does anyone have any experience of using this drug during labour? it has been suggested that I have it as I am not suitable for an epidural. I've been told it's vital I have pain relief to reduce my heart condition from flaring up during labour.
I'm worried about being "out of it" and only having a hazy memory of my first child being born. I'm even more worried about the effects the drug has on my baby. Although, so far it seems a better option than the alternative.. A C section under general anaesthetic. I really don't like the idea of that at all!
