i went for the pre-natal class.
the breathing tatics are only useful if u are in control...
for me, when i am in the labour ward, before i decide i wan the epi or not, i was already in pain..only slight contractions then my hb remind me the breathing but i totally ignore him cos i was in pain already, i cannot think.
then the gas to me is no use. after abt 4 hrs of trying to be drug free, i shout for the epi.
as i still feel pain, the epi is to the highest so basically, i did NOT use the breathing, i did NOT have the feel to push, my baby was forcep out
i remember the doc ask me want to use forcep or not, my reply ir, just get him out..hahaha
then when the baby is abt to come out, the doc ask my hb to go see, my hb reply is "see for what", so the doc also did not ask him wan to cut embical cord or not...haha
