Are you going for all the pain relief you can get or going for the natural approach hun?
I wanna do it with just gas and air and water if I can but I got a horrible feeling I won;t be able to hack it,and I really don't want any other pain relief,I've heard so many awful things about it,I'd rather not have any and deal with it.
I'm still not even sure if my hospital had any birth pools,cos that's the one thing I really want xx _________________

Well at first i was thinking ALL NATURAL.. as i hate being on drugs, and not feeling in control it freaks me out. But then as times gone on, ive thought whatever i need im going to take.. cause i dont think ill hack it either..
I dont like the sound of the drugs either.. but if i need them when it comes down to it, imma taking them!! lol xxx _________________

Yeh I reckon that's what I'm gonna be like,cos i have no idea now how bad it'll be.the only thing i really dont want is an epidural cos sometimes you cant feel when to push.
And pethidine is meant to make you sick,so not too keen on that either,but if I needed it,I would.
I reckon i'll cope well with it though,as long as I can be active and have water,I'll be fine,I hope!xx _________________

Lol,not a lot I don't think.I don't think pethidine is the same for everyone though,it might not affect you like that.
I read too many magazines!Lol could open my own newsagents with the amount I've got! lol
I think I'd have pethidine if I really needed it,but no epidural for me thanks!

Ok, what is pethadene? is it just pain relief? like morphine? can u get it all the way through, or do u pass a certain point?
What i dont want is to say no to epidural at the last time im allowed it and then finding i really need it xxx _________________

I don't think it's bad hun,just me reading too much I think!Some people say it can make you sick,but then so can gas and air,so it really depends.
Pethidine and diamorphine are similar. _________________
