A member asked:
I need a list of pain meds for child birth and labor ((that isnt an epidural))?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why ?: Those that are effective are by prescription only and their use is best decided by the physicians in attendance at delivery. A prenatal consult with the OB and or others involved should provide you with the meds commonly used in your situation.
