Pain Meds. for Labor- What Did You Like?

Hi Moms, I would love a buncha information from you all on what everyone used to relieve the pain of labor (other then an epidural). I am hoping to do a totally unmedicated birth at Poudre Valley Hospital birthing center(doctors and nurses will attend); my mom and many other women who I know have had successful births w/o anesthesia/ pain meds. and I have a doula so I feel positive about this working out...but I started childbirth classes this week and I am getting nervous! I've been thinking about getting a back-up plan prepared;...

Epi Pen ????

My daughter is allergic to peanuts and we just went and picked up her epi pen and I noticed that it exp in may 2007. That just doesn't seem to be a very long shelf life for something that you hopefully will not need to use often. Of course if this is the norm that is fine but I feel like maybe the pharmacy just gave me an old one that they had on the shelf and if that is the case I am going back up there. So if someone could check theirs and let me know I would sooo appreciate it!

Questions About Labor and Breastfeeding

Hi Moms, We are thinking about having another baby. Actually my first pregnancy and delivery because we adopted our only child who is now 2 1/2 when she was just delivered.

I just want to get as much info as I can to be as prepared as possible and then work on being flexible if things don't go the way I planned as I know can happen. I have a shunt in the lumbar region of my spine to drain pressure from...
