From 2nd Tri....
This is a response to the eternal 'Why are you going med free' question...
But there is NO COCAINE in an epidural!!! If you?re going to make that claim, please research first! No respectable source (sorry I don't count 'Aunt Crazy's website of herbal remedies and reasons you shouldn't vaccinate as a source of unbiased knowledge) has cocaine listed as an ingredient of an epidural (there is an original record going back to 1886 listing cocaine derivative as what was used in an epidural, but it doesn?t even say if that was a pregnancy related epidural, and come on, it's over 100 years old!). I hope no one is scared out of making a perfectly good pain management decision based on urban myths...

Because I believe it's better for the baby. There are so many side effects from drugs and no drug has been proven 100% safe. Lots of times taking drugs can lead to an emergency c-section. Drugs can slow labor, drop your blood pressure. You should really research and educate yourself on drugs during pregnancy. I've learned so much. I really don't want to be putting cocaine in my body if I don't need to (a little cocaine is in an epidural). Everything that goes in you, goes to the placenta and then the baby. I would recommend watching the documentary The Business of Being Born to better explain drugs and childbirth to you. |
Re: There is NO cocaine in an epidural - Aaaarg!
hey hey hey..... a little blow never hurt anyone!
why not get junior started early?
so now this broad is saying if we have drugs during birth, we'll have a stillborn too?
LMFAO. My husbands backwoods mother told me the SAME freaking thing when I was pregnant w. our daughter. Scared the crap out of me.
Even the OB & Anesticiologist looked at ME like I was the crazy one when I asked them about it.
you know what? i'd be fine if they gave me some shrooms to munch on during labor, but LSD is committing my spine to something for a LONG time. i am NOT okay with the acid.
Shrooms fine, acid not so much.
It amazes me that with the amount of information we all have access to these days with books, internet, etc... how misinformed we can be... i personally have a saying anything in excess isnt very good for you.... no matter how good it tastes...etc....
Hopefully the women who started this ill-information has found the correct info now... hope everyone is feeling well... i have no ticker...
but i am 32 weeks and 1 day having a boy.. dh thinks i will be going into labor on xmas... he's a silly worry wort though...
Soon to celebrate the day we met, even if the day before marks when we said goodbye.
