10. What type of pain med in labor used?

    ashlee853 replied to Daynamyte's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We use Stadol 1-2 mg with Phenergan 12.5-25 mg. We are a small hospital so we don't use epidurals, we use intrathecals. We only use the stadol for early labor and the intrathecal when they get to 4-5 cm.
