Yes they keep bringing up how I coped in this situation when pregnant with DS2, I have explained that back the I had my bedroom/bathroom/toilet and kitchen all downstairs, I was also living with my mother and only had 1 DC to look after, very different from now.
The thing with the pain relief that has truly angered and upset me was the fact that every single doctor said unconditionally Tramadol was NOT to be used at this stage of pregnancy, even my usual consultant, then after me saying that if I was bring sent home I needed something (allergic to all forms if codine) she just shrugged and said to take the risk with codine and hope baby doesn't come for a couple more weeks! I was 
and very 
that the information I've received has been so vastly different.
They will only offer Tramadol or paracetamol at home, Oramorph apparently isn't allowed to be given in an out patient setting (even though I spent a year on it last year at home but appreciate pregnancy changes things) but I WILL NOT allow my baby to go through a drug withdrawal process in his first few days of life, having fostered babies in similar position I know how horrid this is to watch let alone to actually go through for the baby!
Fingers crossed I get something sorted soon.
