I'm 35w pregnant.
With my first child nearly 5yrs ago, j had gas&air and pethidine. Worked a wonder! Now a couple of friends have mentioned that they avoided pethidine because it can make babies restless for a few days? My research online can't find anything to back this up. My hospital doesn't offer many other alternatives, so it would probably have to be an epidural and that would mean labour ward not birth centre. So has anyone heard anything about these issues with pethidine or had that experience?
