Why are some people against using pain relief in labour? There seem to be 3 views on this issue. The first is that all pharmaceutical pain relief is bad, and that mothers that use is are selfish. The second view is that moderate pain relief is fine. The third is that the more medication you can get the better. My question is this - to those who hold the first view - why are you so opposed to using pain relief? It doesnt harm the baby, and makes the expectant mother's job easier, thus making the babies life easier, right? Or am I wrong on this? If it was harmful to the baby, surely they wouldnt prescribe it. SO why NOT use pain relief? I particularly want to hear from expectant mothers or others who oppose the use of pain relief. i am pregnant with my 2nd child. With my first i didnt know i was in labour (long story) so i didnt go to hospital until v.late, and by then it was too late for epidural. The contractions were unspeakably painful, so much so that i just pushed too early, in an attempt to end the agony, and i ended up tearing in 3 places ... and for a month i couldnt pee without being in agony. I was traumatised by the whole experience and am now morbidly fearful of going into labour again.... i feel like crying now just thinking about the whole thing

Can I make final pain relief decision during labour? I am researching like crazy, but can't fully decide what pain relief I want for labour.

Is this at all related to how much pain I'll have during labour?

Are there any pain relief remedies for a small gum infection while I wait for my dentist appointment? I suspect I'm suffering from pericoronitis (small, painful gum infection caused by being stubborn and not having my wisdom teeth pulled sooner). I have a dentist appointment but its a ways off and the pain is moderate. Symptoms include: Sharp pain behind and around my bottom left wisdom tooth, pain opening jaw, pain swallowing, aching lower left jaw, and bad breath. I'm getting some relief with 800mg of Motrin 3 times a day with meals but its starting to wear off quicker and I'm afraid to take any more. I've pushed on the tooth and it doesn't hurt, so I'm pretty sure its my gums. I think.

Teething - How often can you give pain relief? My 13 month old has only 2 teeth and seems to be constantly drooling and finds it hard to settle at night. She wakes up 3-4 times a night and sometimes will settle straight back but othertimes she wakes up again a couple of minutes later, like something is disturbing her. This seems to be every 2-3 nights is ok to give her medicine this frequently, it says on most medications consult a doctor after 7 days, but we all know teething takes longer than that. How often have others given pain relief, is it ok to do it every 2-3 nights for a few months until they all come through?

What will work for pain/itch relief of shingles? I was diagnosed with shingles last Wednesday and the doctor prescribed me Famvir and Lortab 7.5. I want to stop taking the Lortab because it's making me constipated, but Tylenol isn't going to do the trick. I'm allergic to ibuprofen and aspirin too, which really limits my options. The doctor told me not to put anything on the blisters. So is there anything else that I could try for pain relief? They just started itching this morning (which is almost worse than the burning pain in my opinion.) Oh, and my doctor is out of town and the doctor covering for him is terrible (bad experiences before with him) so I can't exactly call asking for a different pain reliever. Thanks for any advice/suggestions in advance!
