Fainting During Labour?

[Josephine_Beth]

The contractions were a killer but I didn't faint, had no pain killers at all and it did feel like some one was constantly stabbing me in the back OVER AND OVER AND OVER again, I had a back birth

By the time I gave birth, the adrenaline you build up is a natural number, so I didn't feel much of the baby coming out, actually felt like doing a poop.

The placenta didn't hurt, just an uncomfy feeling. Now, the stitches after hurt a little but I think, after 30hrs of labour, some women have more, I don't think anything can touch you

Don't be worried, discuss pain relief with your midwife, then you will be ok. TBH, giving birth (after all the AHHHHHHHHHH PUSHHHHH), didn't hurt that much, hardly felt a thing, it was the contractions that could have knocked me sideways.

JUST GET GAS & AIR............you'll be floating!

Hi

Not quite the answer you were expecting - but my midwife fainted during my labour!!!!

She hit the floor and another midwife had to bring in a wheelchair to take her away!

I think i was to blame as she had spent her entire shift with me and not eaten or had a break - didn't see her after to say sorry - i was too busy !

ahh, bless them midwives! one of mine visited me a few days after the birth, and said "i hope u dont mind, i ate one of your sweets out of the sweet jar, i was a bit thirsty" (i had a home birth- in june- it was hot!) i felt so bad that i hadnt offered them a drink- but i was 5cms by the time they got to ma house- could barely speak let alone make a brew LOL
