Ok this I can help with... Yay.. Ok
theres a few different pain killers you
can take while in labor. Theres normally
nothing they will do until you are 4-5 cm
dialated but I think they might not sure
give demeral or a light pain killer til
then, had it with my first but not with
any of my others.

that gives you the list and all the info
on what drugs you can get while in labor
if you decide you need something...
Personally I have had demerol with my
first, 4 hours then when they checked my
for my epi I was ready to deliver. My sec
was natural, she just kinda popped out
after 2 hours. My 3rd natural, but I did
get an epi problem was it didn't kick in
til after I had given birth (6 hours).
My 4th epi and that was heaven on earth
(15 hours). I would suggest epi just
cause most of the other drugs ( other then
the local) mess with the baby also. The
epi has no effect on the baby but there is
effects. Its really all up to you and
how much pain you can coop with. I have
a low tolerance for pain but it was higher
during labor. But once I could and was
able to get an epi I did... And I would
do it again. Only thing that sucked for
the epi for me was the cathider.
