anesthetist appointment
By magicmikki23 » Posted Oct. 30, 2012 11:49am - 332 views - 0 comments
i had an appointment with a consultant anesthetist today to figure out if they could give me an epidural if I need one during labor or not....this is due to ongoing issues with my back, and the decision has been made that they dont want to risk giving me anything to do with my back and so pain relief options will be just gas and air and pethidine (which I dont mind as I havent really thought of having an epidural anyway...)
However, the bad bit is that if anything goes wrong with me or baby during labor and they need to do an emergency Cesarean, they will have to give me a general anesthetic and put me totally to sleep, which I dont want and so I am praying that it wont come to that......
Other than that, baby's heartbeat was good and this time I could actually hear the movements of baby and when she pressed with the hand held thing, baby was kicking back and I could hear a thud through the speakers lol ;) baby is a feisty little thing like me.... xXx
