We'd researched it and had a private consultation about the risks so knew the options.
Came down to the confidence she had in the person conducting the procedure and the level of risk that had been talked about at the consultation.
( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Thu 22 Mar 2012, 22:04, Reply)

My wife had our first with just gas and air
Then was determined to have an epidural for the second.
In the event things happened too quickly for that to be possible, but she did manage to get a shot of Pethidine.
I can't comment on how that affected the pain because I don't know, but it calmed her the fuck down.
Opiates FTW!

On Saturday I shall be going to Brighton with my son to See Bear Grylls waffle on about eating pooh as a birthday treat foe my son.

On Sunday I shall be gritting my teeth through his Baptism followed by a birthday party with screaming kids and stressy relatives.
As Bear Grylls ends late and the baptism is early I shall have to spend the night at the Ex's and have escaped the wierdness on dossing on the marital bad by volunteering to sleep on the floor, this probably won't actually harm my shoulder, but I may use it as an excuse for being grumpy and/or leaving early if the kids are too obnoxious.

On the up side I shall have time with my son and get to see some friends and family I've not seen in a good while on the Sunday and My mum has promised to sit at the back of the church with me and muter about organised religion.
