every woman is completely different I'm sorta like you I got the IV the first part of my pains. I didn't fall asleep I was awake the whole time lol u were just luky. I awaited towards the end when I was about 8Cm dilated to get the epidural. we are just very lucky not to feel as much pain as the other woman:)

The IV medication did nothing for me, but every body is different and reacts differently to medicine. I opted to get the epidural because of the pain.
