It is important to be aware of the fact that any form of medicinal painkillers, with the exception of entonox, will mean we have to transfer you to the gynaecologist.  The gynaecologist will first have to determine whether your as well as your baby’s condition is severe enough for the need of painmedication. This diagnose will be based on a half hour monitoring of your baby’s heart.

Entonox
Pethidine
Remifentanil
