[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Heplocks do bother me (I've had to have them for other issues as well). For me, it is just really uncomfortable, no matter where it is placed - some have been worse than others. Also, the needle can shift. OP, I opted out during labor, but if you don't want to do that, you could have them place one and remove it if it's too distracting or painful. [/quote] Like another PP explained, there is no needle in your arm once it is placed. It is a flexible plastic catheter. Maybe you feel tape pulling your arm hair-- that can feel like a pinch.[/quote] I am the PP. I am aware that it is tiny plastic tube, but yep, they are typically uncomfortable to me at the insertion site (it's not the tape) - not always right away, but sometimes after 24hours or so. [/quote]
