Cannabis For Labour Pain Relief

[Gruntus]

G'day all. My partner is a month away from giving birth to our first child. We've been attending hospital classes and learned about the usual pain relief option for labour recently. I was wonderiing if anyone here has used cannabis for pain relief/distraction during labour. The traditional options like epidurals, pethadine and nitrous all have their limitations and can be harmful to mother and baby. I'd happily take my electric vape to the birthing centre but I've been unable to find any reports on the topic apart from My Labor under the Influence at RxMarijuana. So has anyone heard of cannabis use in this context? I'd rather trust a natural herb that can be self -administered to any hospital drugs but my partner is concerned by the lack of anecdotal info on the topic. Any stories/web links appreciated. Thanks.
