Stadol?

I agreed to stadol halfway during labor with my first, and it made me feel loopy too. Everything was in slow motion, and when people would talk to me, it seriously sounded like the adults from the Peanuts cartoons. After like 2 hours on stadol, I had to ask them to take me off of it.

I don't actually know what they gave me, but I was in heavy labor for my dd, my blood pressure was super-high, and the contractions were basically back-to-back and really long. They gave me something that made my contractions stop altogether for a whole hour! They had to give me pitocin to get them going again, and it took forever to work back up to the same kinds of contractions that I had before that stupid med! I would have had my dd in no time if not for the stupid drugs! Instead, I ended up with a 13 hour labor.

They also put in an epidural and gave me Demerol or something too, so I was like completely high for the rest of the labor and never felt anymore pain at all...LOL.

i remeber getting stadol, the nurse said it will take about 20 mins towork, but by time she left the room i wasgiggling like a school girl, it help me with the pain i am pretty sure i fell asleep fora couple of hours. 

with my first dh and mil talked me into having stadol. i had been progressing steadily and as soon as i got the stadol i stopped. i was stuck at a 7 for 2 hours. my dr actually told me that if i didnt start progressing again in an hour that i would have a csection (i was induced). i broke down then and said give me an epi then, and within an hour i was at a 10. i now have the rule...NO STADOL! it did the same thing to my sister as well.

I had stadol with my 1st child..... and it slowed down my labor drastically!

I have since had 4 children and expecting # 5.... will NEVER have it again

i think that is what they gave me but it really isnt considered a pain reliever it just kinda takes the edge off so you can relax..it sure as hell didnt slow me down haha..it was my first baby and i went from a 4-10 in 30 mins needless to say i went to fast to get an epidural..i hated the stadol if that is waht i got because it just made me drowsy and didnt take the edge off..just made me not be able to concentrate as well...so you could still say you went all natural because you still did it without any pain meds.. TEchnically it is a pain med but not really if you get what i am saying..I hated it..

I had it with my first.  I won't do it again.  I'll go straight for the epidural.  I was out of it for a couple of hours (it seemed like about 15 minutes to me).  When I came out of it, I wanted to push but couldn't because I wasn't dilated all the way.  Two hours after that they finally let me push and I had him in three pushes.  That was about a million times worse than I felt when they gave me the stupid drugs. 

With my second, I had an epidural and it was the best!  I was actually able to relax and enjoy having her.

I had it and will take it again if I need something. I got 2 rounds of it since you can get 1 shot every 60 minutes. The first one made me sleep for an hour. The second one took the edge off so that I could concentrate on pushing when I felt a contraction. However, I was severely out of it, the room was moving but everyone was still like on That 70s Show and was saying things I don't remember.

I had it with my 1st child.  It didn't slow my labor. It did NOTHING for me as far as pain relief.  Only thing made me fall to sleep after I had my son and I didn't like that because I didn't bond right away with him.
