Oh, and I should add that I had a c/section with my last baby. I had a spinal block which was amazing, stopped all my rsd pain in my arm and leg too. With my son I just had a normal birth, with the allowances and adjustments that others mentioned- no stirrups, butterfly needle if ivs were needed, etc etc. That one was hard, and the rsd came back within hours. So my rsd dr and my gynae reckoned that a c/section would be best, with a spinal block
