Pethidine For Normal Delivery
Hi mommas! I was wondering if those of you who opt for Pethidine for normal delivery, what are the side effects? And what do you feel throughout the labor process?
The injection site will be painful for a short while Common side effects include drowsiness/giddiness/lightheadedness, but that is actually beneficial while you’re having the pain, so that you can hopefully either sleep through it, or be so out of it that you don’t feel the pain so much. Another side effect is nausea, but they can give you anti-nausea meds, so not to worry. One thing to note is that they can only give you pethidine once every 8 hours. So if pain is quite bad before the next dose, you’ll need to consider other forms of pain relief:)
