Despite the several choices you have for
pain relief during labor, not much will do the trick,
labor is made to be painful and therefore its going to be reguardless, even after delivery your uterus will go through small contractions for a day or 2, and they can get pretty painful.
In my opinion the pain is worth it, and once you have that little angel in your arms it makes it all worthwhile.
GL to all mommies to be!
