What form of pain relief did you use during birth, and what was your opinion of it?

I'm researching different pain management methods available and would like to know what you used, why, the effects and efficacy of it, and your general opinion of it. If you used a mixture of pain management options, please choose "Other" and elaborate in a comment. Thanks!
