Cactus: induced labour.. erhm.. painful?
Grace, more painful. cos body is artifically forced to contract again and again. all natural is the best way to go cos our bodies have time to produce pain surpressing endorpins... which works like epi (though not as well lah). Speaking of which, ladies, do you think eating chocolates during labour will decrease labour pains??

roooller, it's anyone's guess. Cos if it is induced labour, she may not dilate that quickly after 4cm. normal unmedicated labours will dilated very quickly during active labour, but how quickly she dilates really depends on the dose of medication she is given from time to time. If the hospital wants to, they can force her body to contract very quickly by increasing the medication but then she'll be very much in pain, cos it's artificial so it can be controlled with drugs.
cactus,
but we nt allow to eat during delivery right?
if does work, i would standby later when i go for my gynae's appt lolz
in case, he asked me to induce too
btw u mention abt our body will produce surpressing endorpins. i wanted to ask, how long will it take?
my #1 i hv epi.
hope i can do w/o this round.
btw will epi cause fever?
my IL ask me to standby chicken essence which i dun want.
#1 i drank then kanna fever during my labour
didnt want to take any chance for #2.
cos #1 got complication during labour

roooller,
re: eating during labour
depends on your doctor. in the past, mothers cannot eat at all, cos last time emerg c-section were all GA. These days, emerg c-section is more often epidural. less fear that mother will regurgitate her undigested food into her windpipe, choke and die. Most hospitals practice is that mothers cannot eat except if labour is very long, then can have milo and biscuits. But some hospitals allow mothers to eat simple, easily digested food which are not oily. Ellysia's doctor allowed her to drink soups and eat biscuits during early labour, if I recall correctly. personally, I will be eating too.
I don't know how long our body produces endorphins but I udnerstand that our perceived pain will be less once endorphins are produced, but it is not a complete block such as epidural. most moms who successfully go without epi tend to only use pain relief later in labour (after 4cm) and use only the injection or gas.
I dun know if epi will cause fever.shuld check with your doctor on this. think there is a list of side effects which we will need to acknowledge by way of signature if we opt for epi. if epi causes fever, it should be on that list.

<font color="aa00aa">cactus, i'm not sure if chocolate will help to reduce labor pain, but so far i know natural way of reduce labor pain include acupressure techniques, breathing method and Hypnobirthing.
For breathing is was said must be take deep breath with ur tummy expanded up and when u exhale, ur tummy will go down. This is the correct way of breathing. As for hynobirthing, it'll be more on mentally and imagination which u had to imagine tat u r in a smooth labor w/o pain and soon u'll be carrying ur lil one.
I'm not sure if i'm at the point of pain will i still be able to 'hypnosised' myself.</font>
