Michele Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 HiI am new to this forum, so apologies if this information is sitting elsewhere!As a student midwife, I am toying with the idea of spending my elective placement at the end of the 2nd yr (next summer), at a maternity hosp in Brittany.Is there anyone who can suggest such a hospital - my house is entre Mt St Michel, Fougres and Rennes.I would also appreciate any comments of experiences of maternity care and labour experiences in France. (I am already really surprised you don't get access to NOO2 - nitrous oxide/oxygen) ... what would be the various "levels" of pain relief, from the least to the greatest?thanks in advanceMichle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teamedup Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 The last time we were in Brittany 18 months ago, local tv was complaining bitterly about maternity units being closed in the region. I don't know whether this was negociated and some remained open. The main towns were keeping theirs though, so I would hope that Rennes at least would have a unit.All those years ago, I was offered no pain relief whatsoever and my friend who had her kids recently wasn't either.

Mistral Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 >... what would be the various "levels" of pain relief, from the least to the greatest? _____epidural or nothing. The other forms of pain relief are considered not to work sufficiently to be offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
