I have read a few birth announcements and birth stories lately where people have been offered and used Morphine instead of Pethedine.....and just wondered about this?
I am being induced tomorrow, and hopefully will only need to have a ARM to get things going (I was able to do this last time), but if I end up on the drip, I seriously doubt my abilities to do it drug free again like last time...however my hospital does not offer Epi's (it is a small country hospital, if things get serious there is a larger hospital that offers everything about 25 mins away)....
I have always refused Pethedine in the past because I hate that drunk/yuck feeling, is Morphine like this? Or do you just feel normal????
And are all hospitals able to offer Morphine, or is this just a new procedure for some hospitals??
Just want to know what to ask for should I need it!
Thanks in advance.![]()
