Well it depends on what you want. The eipidural will numb the bottom half of your body and youwill only feel a little bit of pressure. No pain.

But the iv meds will only take the edge off the conractions. It will still hurt like crazy...

Yeah the epidural its a 0.02 % chance that you may become paralyzed. I would go with either natural birth...No meds..Or get the epidural.

My sis had an epidural with her second one...But they gave it to her so late that it didn't kick in until he was out!!!!

Yeah they can give you demoral/phenergan iv (or another similar drug) like they said...Its not going to take the pain away, only take the edge off.
