pethidine for pain relief?

Question

Have or would you take pethidine for pain relief during labour? I'm exploring my options so I'd love to know your experiences with it, or why you would or wouldn't want it. Thanks!

Answer

It's an opiate narcotic. I wouldn't take it while pregnant. Narcotics can have many many undesired side effects

Answer

I found it slightly annoying because you fall asleep inbetween contractions and I use to get so mad with the pain of the contraction waking me up I was like Iv had enough I just want to stay asleep 😂 I was literally itching my nose off my face aswel my midwife said oh yes I forgot that's a side affect my poor nose was sore for about a week 🙈
