There is Pethidine (it may be called something different in the US) I believe you can still be active during labour with it (I've never used anything other than gas and air, but I'm blessed with short labours), which means gravity can help you with a speedy delivery!

Some offer fentynyl (spelling?) which just takes the edge off.  That's what I used with my second.

You can get a nubaine (sp?) Injection in your iv.  It doesn't stop the pain just takes the edge off the contractions.
