Trying to decide on my birth plan. I'm reconsidering having an epidural...I've been told that pictocin? before epidural is given makes contractions way more painful then they should be to speed things up. Could any ladies share their experiences on labor and pain management? what are other pain medications other than epidural?

@foleytwins, yeah same with my mom she had the 3 of us with epidurals no problem. @katarama , laughing gas huh? Ig I'm just gona need to do some research on it.
I've had epidurals with my last three pregnancies and I plan on having one this time too. Pitocin does speed it up but I didnt think it made it anymore painful, but that's just me.
In my experience it helps the pain not be as bad without it. But you can still feel it almost like a lot of pressure. But my last pregnancy they put it in too late and I felt everything. It was awful.
They also do pain meds through IV and laughing gas. I'm doing laughing gas if it's offered where I'm at because I don't like the thought of an epidural.
I'm hoping to be able to do natural. My mom did even when she ended up having complications. I can't stand needles and if they put them in im afraid of it slowing down my labor or causing more problems for me.
