Women presenting for emergency caesarean section (E1-E3) will be randomised to one of two groups, and either receive intrathecal pethidine 10mg with bupivacaine, or intrathecal fentanyl 10mcg with bupivacaine. Our hypothesis is that women receiving pethidine will experience less shivering than those receiveing fentanyl. The intervention will last four hours only.
