[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My OB recommended a heplock (his word) and intermittent monitoring when I said that I'd like to be able to get in and out of the shower during labor. There was no drama. I agreed and we moved on. I didn't find the saline lock to be all that uncomfortable. It was a little annoying, but the contractions took the focus off of my hand. It seems like some of you are making a bigger deal of out this than it needs to be. [/quote] Or, it could be that some women feel differently about things. I'm the previous poster who had a saline lock, and it hurt and really bugged the hell out of me. If one is needed, i.e., I start labor dehydrated or tired and it looks like good preventative care, well, I'll figure it out. But if it's just hospital protocol, no.[/quote] Well guess what - the hospital experience is not about you. You one to normally buck the rules? Stuff doesn't apply to you when you don't agree with it?[/quote]
