I waited 90 minutes for him to arrive and then it took him an hour to get it in. No lie. I have calcified ligaments in my back (which we discovered that day!) and it took way too long. If he hadn't got it in that last time, I wasn't going to be getting one

Heather, can I ask where you had your last 2? Sounds like you may have had remifentanyl which is a relatively new thing during labour in Vic. I've been trying to find a hossy that does it for when I eventually have #2 (if I go for a VBAC)
