  1. No, you can also get IV narcotics--usually Stadol or Nubain.


  2. No, you can get IV drugs but I've heard they are nowhere near as effective  as pain relief as the epidural is.

  3. no there are other options. you could probabky go to a pregnancy website and find out lots

  4. No they have what is called a walking epidural. I hear it doesn't do much for the pain but its worth a try. There are a few options to try. As your doctor for other options. Good Luck!!!!

  5. Not at all, you can get IV drugs for pain as well, but they are not as good as the epidural and do not last as long. There are also natural laboring techniques you can use to control the pain on your own if you so desire.
