Re: Re: Thimerosal in Epidurals?

[Guest guest]

Hello , I also used epidural during childbirth to both my children. My second one has ASD. My first delivery was a success using epidual, meaning I didn't feel pain. My second one (again with ASD) was not a success, I remember the pain I went through even with epidural, because the anaesthesiologist also made the wrong insertion, so I remember it being given to me so many times, and yet i was not relieved of the pain... I was awake the whole time... i guess it's not as safe after all.... carlina Cornell wrote: I have been watching this thread closely to see what the answer was. When I gave birth to my ASD son I was induced with Pitocin. I also had an epidural in which the anethiesiologist (I know that is spelled wrong!) made a mistake with the insertion of the needle and the epidural medication went into my bloodstream.
