painless or without painless labor?

hi momshies! i just wanna ask your opinion kung mas okay ba mag painless or wag na lang? i'm on my 5th month of pregnancy and preparing myself pero iniisip ko palang yung labor natatakot na ko. mababa kasi pain tolerance ko. may side effects rin po ba ang painless labor? nakalimutan ko kasi itanong sa ob gyne ko last week. please answer mga momshies kung ano mas okay and safe. thank you po ?
