Wow! How interesting! Will definitely have to give it a go!
I can certainly imagine what happened there...bad recipe. Not a fan of midwives who think they know when a woman needs to push.
As a student midwife, I was supporting a woman through labour two weeks ago and her baby was posterior so she was in excruciating back pain. She was offerred the sterile water injections as she was not wanting to have any drugs in labour. She was told that it would be painful, but i dont think she realised how much until they did the first ones through a contraction and she went through the roof!!! The midwives told her that in order for it to be effective, they had to do a second lot, but she virtually begged them not to do it again...she was in tears as was I almost as well!! I hadnt seen it done before, but apparently it scrambles the pain messages passed through the nerves in the back for a short period of time, and that is how they can provide relief.
