All medications that are given to the mother will reach the child. No medications should be used automatically. For certain conditions, however, medications can be used with relative safety after careful deliberation by the doctor.
Most childbirth classes equip mothers with some of the pain of labor. However, as one obstetrician notes, "There is a reason they call it labor and not brunch!" Labor can be uncomfortable, and analgesics, should be made available when other techniques fail.
Share with us what medications might be helpful or harmful to either the baby or the mom, or if you want to share your experience if you took a specific medication or no medication at all.
