I had an intrathecal for my first baby. For me it only lasted a little over an
hour. I still had another hour of pushing and felt the entire delivery of my son...OUCH!! If you decide on getting the intrathecal, I hope it will last longer then mine! Jen |

I know it's distressing when you can't have the birth that _you_ wanted, but
around the world, every day, most women give birth without epidurals and they do just fine. Here in NZ epidurals are not the norm. Your body was designed for labour, have faith in it :-) "Gilbey and Susie" wrote in message ... i can't get an epidural! they only do nubain and intrathecals for pain relief. i wanted to be totally numb when this kid pops out but looks like i can't. anyone have any experience with intrathecals and nubain???? |

I had Nubain, and it worked okay for me.... it took the edge off my contractions which is what I needed at the time. I had an epidural (ended up with a c-section, as babe was stuck and I wouldn't dilate after 2 days of trying for a vbac), and I have to say.... even though I was glad I could be awake during her birth, I *hated* the effect of the epidural. I felt nothing, which was the whole point, but I literally kept falling asleep during the surgery and afterwards, which interfered with my ability to bond right after birth. Nan |

no epidural!!!!!
I have the same problem with the hospital I am birthing through. I have
tried to find info on them but I think like 2 people responded last time. I have thought about switching hospitals so an epidural would be an option if I wanted one. I think we have decided against that though since we REALLY like my midwife and the Dr. that she works with. I did a little research on Intrathecals but it did not really help much with trying to get personal experiances.

I had Nubain with my first delivery, and thought it was great - it didn't eliminate pain, but it sort of took the edge off so it was easier for me to relax. It had worn off well before I actually gave birth, however - the hospital's policy was to try to get it out of the mother's system before the birth to minimize any effect on the baby. Clisby |

I've not had either. I've talked to one person IRL that had the interathecal and she couldn't say enough good things about it. I had stadol hours and hours before I delivered #1. He was a very sleepy baby but the nurses said that was because of the long delivery. Who knows? Anyway, I thought that stuff was awesome. I could do with some of that every day :-) -- Nikki Mama to Hunter (5) and Luke (3) |

no epidural!!!!!
my dr and also the nurse at my birthing class both said that it will not
numb me, i will still have my motor skills and i can walk around and will be able to push. it only takes away the pain but it doesn't take away any pain caused by the head crowning etc..
