ambien seems to be the drug of choice for the non laboring pt. we give morphine and vistaril for "prodromal" labors.

so sorry; didn't realize this was for prego-people.... we have gerries and MS--and if anyone pre-menopausal comes in, i'm not quite sure what to do with them! :chuckle

Some of our docs used to use mepergan (demerol and phenergan). For "theraputic" rest, most of them will use MS...For the pp people and gyns, they get either restoril or dalmane...And stadol is a big deal with our docs....Sometimes people will get a separate injection of vistaril along with it...
