PediaCare Infant's Fever Reducer/Pain Reliever Drops, Cherry 1 fl oz (15 ml)
Hi,I did the following:
what other pain relievers are there besides the epidural for a vaginal delivery?My husband and i are wanting to have another baby, i had an epidural with my first child.it didnt work and i have had some long term effects because of it. I am terrified of needles, meaning ivs if they are placed anywhere other then my hand, is there any other pain relievers or drugs that can reduce labor pains, can any be used in a iv?or given as a shot, i have heard of stadol but is that only for c section?

Nubain in the pill form and Fentanyl through IV. Worked wonders for me and didn't feel a THING! Stadol is not really used as much as Nubain. I don't know if it depends on what type of delivery you have though. Fentanyl is also available in pill for but I wouldn't recommend it because IV drugs are stronger and more effective.

There are a couple of types of drugs for labor pains to be reduced with besides the epidural that go into either your i.v or into your arm/hand etc they are as follows:Pudendal block
Description
A pudendal block may be used shortly before delivery to block pain between the vagina and anus (perineum). A local anesthetic is injected into the vaginal wall and takes effect in seconds.
Pros
A pudendal block relieves pain in the lower vagina and perineum for up to an hour. Negative effects for mother or baby are rare.
Cons
A pudendal block doesn't stop the pain of contractions. The medication may affect only one side of the perineum. An allergic reaction is possible. Rarely, injecting the medication into a vein may decrease your blood pressure.
Narcotics
Description
Various narcotics may be injected into a muscle in your thigh or buttock or given through an intravenous (IV) catheter. If you have an IV, you may be able to control your dosage. The medication takes effect in minutes.
Pros
Narcotics decrease the perception of pain for two to six hours. They promote rest without causing muscle weakness.
Cons
Narcotics may cause sleepiness and temporarily depress breathing for you or the baby. Your baby may experience temporarily slowed reflexes as we
Description
Spinal anesthesia is a regional anesthetic used during active labor if delivery is expected within two hours or shortly before a C-section. The medication is injected directly into the fluid surrounding the spinal cord in the lower back and takes effect quickly.
Pros
A spinal block provides complete pain relief from the chest down for up to two hours. The medication is usually given only once. You'll remain awake and alert.
Cons
A spinal block may affect one side of your body more than the other. A spinal block may decrease your blood pressure, which can slow the baby's heart rate. Rarely, you may have a severe headache when you're upright in the days after delivery. If the anesthesia affects your chest wall, you may have the temporary sensation of difficulty breathing. Because spinal anesthesia blocks the ability to empty your bladder, you'll likely need a catheter. You may also experience soreness at the injection site. You may want a repeat spinal block or another procedure if the block doesn't work as well as expected.
Description
An epidural block is a regional analgesic or anesthetic that can be used during active labor or shortly before a C-section. The medication is injected into the lower back just outside the bag of fluid surrounding the spinal cord. It takes about 20 minutes to administer an epidural block and another 10 to 20 minutes for the medication to take effect.
Pros
An epidural alleviates most pain in the lower body without significantly slowing labor. It can be used continuously throughout labor. You'll remain awake and alert. A walking epidural — a combination of an epidural and a spinal injection that leaves you enough muscle strength to walk during labor — is available in some facilities. An epidural block usually has little or no effect on the baby.
Cons
An epidural may affect one side of your body more than the other. An epidural may decrease your blood pressure, which can slow the baby's heart rate. Rarely, you may have a severe headache when you're upright in the days after delivery. If the anesthesia affects your chest wall, you may have the temporary sensation of difficulty breathing. Because epidural anesthesia may block the ability to empty your bladder, you may need a catheter. You may also experience soreness at the injection site. You may want another procedure if the epidural doesn't work as well as expected
I hope I helped you can also ask the labor and delivery staff what else they can do besides the epidural and what the pros and cons of each medication is.

for my c-section I had a spinal block. it's just a quick shot and does the same as an epidural. so much faster and very efficient. it's given in the spine like an epidural but nothing stays in your back. they do it right before delivery.
