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.

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.
