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.

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.

Ok I will read this. I am dilling with my layer right now fun fun

You can have pain medication up to 7-8 cm....After that u will have to fight to get it
