[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was on lovenox during my pregnancies and no anesthesiologist would touch me with a 10 foot pole if I was within 24 hours of a shot. There is a risk of paralysis. There are also back injuries (or scoliosis) where the anesthesiologist [b]has a right to say no [/b]especially if he doesn't have access to Xrays or an MRI or something. [/quote] You’re confused. The anaesthesiolgist always has the “right” to say no. They are not legally obligated to give you pain control if it is not medically safe or indicated. Heck, if they are the only on-call and they have a patient that needs anaesthesia more than a woman in labor does, guess who gets their attention and expertise? As has been said on this thread already, a medicated, pain free birth is not a given. [/quote]
