Ok. Yes you can have an epidural. first the midwife/doc is likley to check you to see how you are progressing first. It is your choice weather to have an epidural. That being said, wouldnt you like to try other ways of relaxation and pain management? Yes pethadine makes u feel drunk and nausous and gas.. well that just makes u high.

Think about it tho.. Some places in the world now give birth to babies in the middle of a rainforrest with no drugs.. no nothing really. Our bodies are designed to give birth and your body wont put you through anything it doesnt think u cant handle.


enjoy the rest of your pregnancy.
