My hospital offers a newer sort of pain relief via a drip. It's called Remifentanil and is patient-controlled analgesia. It is supposed to be an alternative to Pethidine or Epidural. It says it acts quickly and wears of rapdily so you only use it when you feel the need. It also says it has 'minimal effects' on the baby. Has anyone used this before?
