The best advice so far for labour would be if you are in any sort of pain then question what pain relief you can have! Since having the diomorphine injection I have felt so relaxed, felt some tiny discomfort but it's amazing! Still being monitored as the monitor isn't picking up movement but once that has done I will be able to get some sleep :)
I mostly had gas and air, I did have I injection of diamorphine and it was like heaven and when I wanted some more they said I wasn't far enough dialated then turns out I was too far dilated and it was a waste so finished off with gas and air but I would definitely recommend that diamorphine I loved it! xx
I had pethidine and was still in agony... Gas and air helped me more than anything xx
@briony1994, hope all goes well for you. been seeing your posts a lot in last couple of days. just think not long left and you'll meet you little one
The only thing that helped me was the epidural and I had to have 2 top ups 😳
