Can I make final pain relief decision during labour?

Posted By on January 26, 2012

I am researching like crazy, but can’t fully decide what pain relief I want for labour. Can I make the final decision during labour, depending on the pain? This is my first child and I’m starting to get really nervous. I’m going to talk about this with the doctor at my next appointment, but am interested to hear what you think.

I have really bad menstrual cramps when I’m on my period. Is this at all related to how much pain I’ll have during labour?

Chosen Answer:

I’m not sure that there is any correlation between severity of menstrual cramps and severity of pain during labor. For me, who had a history of bad menstrual cramps, the pain of labor was pretty intense. But that might not mean anything.

Every woman has different pain tolerances, and I’m sure you can play it by ear during labor. Research your options, discuss them with your doctor and then see what happens. You may be perfectly able to pull labor off without taking anything for pain, but I think most women opt for an epidural, which greatly relieves pain (an absolute godsend in my opinion!).

I’m feeling you! I remember being very nervous with my first. But honestly, don’t worry too much. You’ll come through it and everything will be okay.

Why are some people against using pain relief in labour?

Posted By on January 24, 2012

There seem to be 3 views on this issue. The first is that all pharmaceutical pain relief is bad, and that mothers that use is are selfish. The second view is that moderate pain relief is fine. The third is that the more medication you can get the better.

My question is this – to those who hold the first view – why are you so opposed to using pain relief? It doesnt harm the baby, and makes the expectant mother’s job easier, thus making the babies life easier, right? Or am I wrong on this?

If it was harmful to the baby, surely they wouldnt prescribe it. SO why NOT use pain relief?

I particularly want to hear from expectant mothers or others who oppose the use of pain relief.
i am pregnant with my 2nd child. With my first i didnt know i was in labour (long story) so i didnt go to hospital until v.late, and by then it was too late for epidural. The contractions were unspeakably painful, so much so that i just pushed too early, in an attempt to end the agony, and i ended up tearing in 3 places … and for a month i couldnt pee without being in agony. I was traumatised by the whole experience and am now morbidly fearful of going into labour again…. i feel like crying now just thinking about the whole thing

Chosen Answer:

well, i plan on getting something if need be, but i can say i went to my friends birth, and she was sober whne i got ther and in pain so they gave he rdrugs and it slowed the babies heart rate way down, so that all the nurses were running around.. they in my opinion gave her too much, so i disagree with what you said about “If it was harmful to the baby, surely they wouldnt prescribe it. ”

Over the counter pain relief medicine specific for back pain?

Posted By on January 22, 2012

I saw that there is “Doans” for back pain relief, but I can’t understand how it targets the back pain.

Can someone explain how that happens?

Chosen Answer:

It isn’t really relief for it only blocks the pain messages to the brain. The pains are still happening and can be doing more damage in your back. If you suffer from back pain you want to free up the pinched muscles causing the pain by doing this:
Back:
(do from a sitting position)
Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front and firmly pull down on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.

Does Ultram (Tramadol) have the same effect as Vicodin or percocet?

Posted By on January 21, 2012

I got it prescribed to me for my neck pain but I have no clue to what this medication has in store for me. Is it the same as vicodin and percocet? Oh, and how do I make it to were I don’t get an upset stomache? I get that like everytime even when I eat. Should I just eat a whole buffet to not make my stomache hurt? Thanks for any help!

Chosen Answer:

omg tramadol is not an nsaid. it is a synthetic opiate- that means it is works on the exact same receptors that vic. or per. does- it is just a little different.
although not technically a controlled drug, it *can be* very addictive to those with addiction issues. if you take it in a manner other than how it was prescribed, it is very similar to the other drugs you mentioned.
it is not notorious for stomach upset the way the others are- just take it with a little food- an exactly as it was prescribed.
if you take the maximum- 400mg day for more than a week, you will have withdrawal symptoms, so plan accordingly.
yes, it can be a good medication- i’ve been taking it off and on for about 5 years, but if you suspect this medicine could pose certain problems for you- go with the otc stuff, heat, massage…etc..

EDIT- thumbs down? i wonder who. lol

Posted By on January 20, 2012

This person really aint like a good friend he is kinda dumb one that thinks drugs is cool..and he wanting to snort it and i dunno if you could do that im just wondering so i can tell him it is bad and he should not do it..

Chosen Answer:

uhh def. not! you should NEVER advise someone to snort anything besides meds that are sopposed to go in your nose! Ultram is nothing like vicoden. Its a little stronger than tylenol and will not f**& him up! if he takes extra its only gonna kill him! crazy people

would 200 mg of ativan plus a handful of ultram kill me?

Posted By on January 19, 2012

I weigh141 pounds and I’d take it on an empty stomach.
I also have 90 Soma to throw into the mix and Ill wash it all down with a beer.

Chosen Answer:

Use the drugs to help you not kill you.

There is more to life then whatever you are going through. Talk to someone about your problems and how to try to fix them, get a new dose of medication that is actually going to help you, and start trying to be the happier new you.
