natural or epidural
When I had my first daughter in 2014 I was in labor for 25+ hours, 20 of those I went without any pain meds. I finally broke down and get the epidural which almost killed me. My heart rate dropped to 7 and my b/p got as low as 20/8. Apparently the nurse laid me back to fast and all the meds went straight to my heart which caused the problem. I'm currently 28 weeks with my 2nd daughter and am so worried about getting another epidural. Has anyone else had this problem or was mine a freak accident
Also sorry about your experience. When you go into labor this time you should tell them about what happened last time. Just let them know whatever concerns you have and they will try making it a comfortable experience this time. Try not to worry. Maybe this time will be faster and you might not want an epidural
Morphine doesn't help. I got it with last pregnancy and all it did was make me tired and that slows down your heart rate also
My sister in law got morphine rather than the epidural. Could maybe ask the doctor about that ..
I never experienced that I'm so sorry you had experience that and maybe this time everything will go well congrats on the baby
