What's the most common medicine used in c-sections besides morphine?
I had morphine with my first c-section, but when I was given it, it felt like 500 pounds of bricks were on my chest and I was literally gasping for air for several minutes until I threw up. It happened a second time after the surgery so i said no more morphine.
My second c-section is in February, and my OB put a note in my chart that morphine is a no no for me. I am just curious as to what's the next most commonly used drug. I plan on asking specifically what will be used at my appointment next week.
I didn't have an epidural and it happened again after the second dose after the surgery was already completed and the spinal had worn off.
Quoting MAXnBRYCESMomma:The heavy feeling on your chest wasnt the morphine, it was the epidural. They usually use morphine or demerol as a secondary pain med.
You may need to be knocked out, as most pain relief medications are in the same category as morphine. Also, morphine is an opiate, like every other medication commonly used in pain relief.
This is the most common ingredient list in epidurals and spinals:
.1 mg Fentanyl
1800 mg Clindamycin
1gm Erythromycin
1 mg Phytonadion
20 U Oxytocin
100 mg Diphenhydramine
30 mg of Nalbuphine (nubaine)
10 mg Morphine
1 gm Cefazolin
120 mg Ketorlac
1mg Ondansetron
2 mg of Midazolam
I breastfeed right away. I had morphine and oxycodone with my second.
Quoting MrsNewman:I had a dumb nurse that over dosed me on the morphine after my second c-section. After that, they turned it off and just gave me vicodin. (sp) It will also depend on whether or not you plan to breastfeed.
How to tell the difference?
