Dianthe,
Ask your doula about using a TENS unit during labor. I used one during both my deliveries and it helped a lot. With my first son the epidural didn't work and actually caused more problems. With my second son I didn't even try the epidural, so I essentially delivered both without pain meds. The TENS unit helped alot. I got it through a physical therapist who came and spoke to our birthing class. They use them a lot for people in p/t who have chronic pain and they are very helpful during labor. you control the timing and the intensity.
If you have any questions about it, please e-mail me and I would be happy to try and answer them for you.
Congrats and best of luck with Spike! :)
