My hospital has a norovirus outbreak and by some miracle dcs dad phoned our closest open mlu and I'm able to go thankfully! They don't offer epidural and from dd, I can remember asking for the epidural mainly because I'd had no sleep in 24 hours, no food, no water and my iorn is low anyway, I couldn't do it anymore. Plus me and dd became tired during the birth so I'd have had to have had an epidural anyway as they wanted to c section me.
I feel like every night I'm going into labour and I've posted so many threads on here 😥 I just panic every night.
So what is natural labour like?
I liked gas and Air with dd.
I've never tried pethidine but I'm told it's incredibly risky if given too late which puts me off.
Ive been reading into hypnobirthing as of last night.. But I think it's too late to take everything in now :/
The mlu has a bath which has in my notes I'm able to consider. Apparently the bath is really nice for waterbirth.
