Which painkiller would you advice for during labour?

I know there are a several painkiller drugs for labour,...any ones you would advice on? I am planning on taking them during my labour time.





I am not taking a risk by not taking them =// I just want a smooth labour with not so much pain - that I want to die right there.





Thanks! =)) this is my first pregnancy.Which painkiller would you advice for during labour?
from personal experience, i recommend a continuous epidural. they had mine going for HOURS. they started my epidural at 2pm and i didn't deliver until just after 11pm and then kept it in until they had stitched me up. it felt great. i wasn't tired...i didn't even sleep the whole time i was in labor. i ended up tearing naturally down there and they had to use a vacuum to get her out and all i felt was a lot of pressure during my contractions and the only time it hurt was when her head came out and her shoulders. it was just a lot of pressure. no sharp pains or anything too horrible. i was able to walk to the bathroom by myself 2 hours after having it removed.





good luck with your delivery and just chose a pain med that is right for you. i'm glad i chose an epidural, there's no way, me personally, could of handled the labor and delivery without it.Which painkiller would you advice for during labour?
actually, the epidural (risky, like all painkillers) was great when it worked - my last daughter, however, it failed and i went through a maximum-strength induction au naturel.





*at the time* it was bloody awful - i mean, sheer torture! - but i mean this literally: the second she was out, i was fine! ten minutes after she was born i was demanding to be let up so i could walk myself to the toilet and take a desperately-needed pee.





the absolute best painkiller of all, however, is lamaze or hypnobirthing - failing those, just remember NOT to stress and fight the contractions. allowing them to pass through you really does lessen the pain to the point it just feels like your whole stomach is really really tight.
If you just want ease of the pain but not complete releif from it go with the Stadol, IV drug, it helps relax you and I enjoyed it.





Otherwise, epidural is the way to go, just remember once you take pain help you can't really get up and walk or do a whole lot. Try to hold off until you know you are ready to just lay in the bed :D
Personally I would suggest an epidural. My sister has 6 children and says that is the best. With the first few they gave her Demerol and it made her REALLY mean and kinda loopy. When you take the IV meds you will also have a hard time staying awake after labor to spend some time with your little one. Good luck and congrats!
