I was adamant bnot to have an epidural & I had gas that I don't think was on & then had am shot of Peth which worked perfectly for me... I had no sleep for 2 days due to waters breaking etc.... But contractions were opn & off, eventually on the second morning of no sleep they induced me & gave me peth, it wored wonders & I will definately not have a needle in my spine it freaks me too much!

Just go with your body, is the best thing you can do, this is what we are built for & so just breathe & let your body do it's job!!!
