I had the gas and air and one dose of pethadine, I do not want an epidural at all! i know someone personally who has had it stuffed up and now there back is a mess.with constant problems.
i dont think id have the pethadine again as the midwife said it could of been the reason why Joshua didnt want to breastfeed straight away, he almost slept solid for the first 3 days after being born with no feeding as he just refused and wanted to sleep.

depends on how abd the pain is this time as to wether ill have it again though lol, but deffinatly no epidural here, unless im having an emergency c section

take care
Lesley
