The way I saw it too, was that I spent all of my pregnancy avoiding any drugs, ie, sinus medications, panadol (unless I was dying) etc, there was no way I was going to let it all come undone for a few hours hard work.

Do your research Gracie, peth and morphine (which they are now using in some hosps) are not a good thing to have crossing over to your baby. Especially if your baby is born pretty soon after you getting it. Bub's will more than likely be very slow to respond.
