Sorry to jump in on tri 3! I've had both diamorphine and tramadol, not to help with birth but for other gynae ops. They are wonderful for pain relief but made me vomit and feel completely out of it!
I started in the birthing pool when I had my daughter (she ended up being delivered by ventouse because she got stuck in the u-bend!) and it really was so wonderful! I was so relaxed floating in the water, i could see the contractions and feel them but they really weren't all that painful. I'd highly recommend at least starting off in a birthing pool!!
Lots of luck for your big day x
