Yeah couldn't do the epidural my spine is too narrow . He tried a few times but these iv pain meds…

I ended up giving it around 5pm to get the iv meds and OMG they worked wonders, only lasted for 2 hours but the whole two hours I slept, at least I thought I was sleeping turns out my "dream" was just because I was too messed up lol. talking about my art project.! I don't even have an art project lol. congrats momma! your time is soon!

and those things work instantly lbs I wanted to try going without and epidural and just use those if needed but hubby thinks I shouldn't try to push it and just get the epidural

@brie15, I'd def recommend these over the epidural it's no where near as painful to get and works very well.

@rainbowbaby2015, I can actually sleep with my contractions now and I can get these every hour or 2 and it takes away my toothache. It's wonderful!

@mrsschmalz, you feel the contractions but it takes the pain in half and helps you rest/sleep a bit without causing nausea or anything

@mrsschmalz, it's called nubane it is my life savor atm lol

can you opt for them instead of an epidural or is it certain circumstances that you get iv meds?

You can opt for them instead. I was willing to try an epidural first knowing I don't have good history with them. It's called nubane works lovely! @mz_young

ok thanks:) i didn't know there was another option

I told them I needed something and asked for options. I will say they don't take a whole lot of edge off in the final stage though. @mz_young but at least I'm able to get up and walk around my back is just bruised up from attempting to have the epidural 4 times basically. I'm legitimately traumatized by the epidural just the mention makes my back feel the pain and pressure all over again
