For WEEKS now i have been asking about what im going to have as pain relief whilst im in labour ... (yes i know im a friggin wuss!)

Well i mentioned it AGAIN today as i cannot have :
Pethadine
Gas&air
Epidural

Im Like so would you mind telling me WTF i can have (Getting annoyed as i mentioned this EVERY appointment for the past 5wks or more)
Got told i have to have an appointment with the anestetics team ... i was like ok when tomorrow morning?? she goes "oh no won't be till middle of next week at least ... its a specialist appointment we have to contact the secretery"

I then asked if she was taking the piss as im booked in for a sweep tomorrow ... WTF am i gonna do if i go into labour before my induction appointment?? ... she goes " we will sort something out in an emergency"
My notes NEVER get read and my consultant goes on holiday on the 16th!

So i have to see my other consultant tomorrow and see what he can sort out last min, Gav was telling me not to get upset but could understand why i was, at the moment i have to give birth without and relief!
So spent most of the afternoon Crying, and shitting myself about tomorrow im terrified of going in to labour now

ASSHOLES!

hope you get it sorted soon!! cant belive you cant have an epi!

If its any help, Jase was giving me a sweep every night towards the end on Coby (sorry, very personal and way to much info i know!) he felt Cobys head a few times as i was 2 to 3 cm dilated, and the stubborn little git still didnt come out!

Hopefuly your little one will be stubborn for a while too.

That's crazy!

I can't believe they are being so blase about it after everything you've been through.

I have a wooden spoon you can bite on! Perhaps you better book Gav in for a xray on the hand you are bound to break as you are squeezing it!

Seriously though they really must offer you something!

Tis ok hun ...

Im not allowed Pethedine as i had a reaction to it whilst having maddie and so did she .... So they said NO!

Not allowed Gas & Air as im on 30mg of steroids for my ashma as well as hydrocrotazone and it can cause you to have an attack ... so they said NO!

Not allowed an Epi as im on clexaine everyday and it can cause a spinal bleed as i have been on it so long .... they said NOOOOOO!

Im shitting bricks and feel sick as hell
