What pain relief did you opt for, would you recommend it and opt again?

Not long to go until labour and I’m a bit nervous. I have put in labour plan I’m open to anything.

Labour went fast with baby no.2 and only got G&A and it’s scared me for this time.

Gas and air is great as long as you take nice deep breaths. I didn't use it properly until being stitched up and was happy as a clam.

Pethadin was the worst thing ever. I felt like I was locked in and it was horrific. They also didn't believe my labour was progressing quickly and gave it to me and I then had to give birth in this horrible addled brain fog as I had only had it 1.5 hours before she was crowning.

I would never ever ever touch pethadin again.
