Hi all,
Currently pregnant with baby number 2 and need some advice if poss.
DD's birth was going fine on gas and air/tens, baby in good position but the pain was more than I could cope with and I ended up getting three shots of diamorphine.
After that it all went a bit wrong, labour slowed, baby got stuck and DD ended up with a shoulder dystocia (emergency ventouse delivery). I don't remember the pain getting any less but I did forget why I was there at times and my memories of actually holding her are hazy at best.
Has anyone laboured with and without and can advise whether they feel it was better without, or would you get ALL the drugs?
I wonder whether all these problems started because of the morphine and whether I could cope without it this time, at least I could have a clear head to get the job done :)
Any advice appreciated
