[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read the article. It says right there that fentanyl is often administered for labor pains. I've heard women say they were offered it. [/quote] Right, the article says it. But of the many mom friends I’ve had that I’ve discussed labor (natural, epidural, c-section), I’ve never heard anyone mention being given an opioid shot, so I was wondering if it really is that common. Interesting that another poster mentioned there is fentanyl in an epidural. I did not know that.[/quote] I was given something, not fentanyl but like norfran (or it sounded kind of like that?), and it helped me sleep through the crazy contractions the foley bulb gave me (that did almost no good in terms of forward progress). I'm pretty sure it was an opioid or narcotic - it was definitely something that when they explained what it was I asked if it was safe because it sounded dangerous or illicit to me.[/quote]
