Intradermal water injections for labor?

[janelrn]

Hey there,

I'm looking for information from anyone where intradermal sterile water injections for back pain in labor are actually done. It's one of those things that I only can find it in the research things here in eastern NC. The first thing I need is info: who is qualified to do these? what does a typical policy look like? that sort of thing.

Thanks!

From everything I've read, it's sort of like mag, no one really knows. One theory is accupressure, another has to do with the Gate theory.

Heck that works just as often as Nubain & Stadol (which seem to be the only 2 meds our docs seem to know how to order).
