Guest guest Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 Many people simply skip their last dose before surgery. The absolute safest is considered to be 72 hours without LDN prior. -- At 02:44 AM 4/7/2011, you wrote: >Hi everyone >I'm new to this group and to ldn.

Guest guest Posted April 7, 2011 Report Share Posted April 7, 2011 It's a quandry, because you don't know when labor will begin. I had 3 children without pain meds, and applaud you for your desire to do this. For a first child your labor will likely be 8 hrs or more. This should give LDN enough time to clear before you might need pain meds. Pain meds will work about 6 to 8 hours after your last dose.Fentanyl is effective in controlling pain, for people who take LDN. This is a short acting IV drug, that is commonly used for anesthesia.
