Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  0.0625% levobupivacaine and fentanyl 0.5mcg per ml fentanyl in continuous epidural infusion and intermittent epidural bolus for pain free labor  One group will receive levobupivacaine and fentanyl as continuous infusion and other group will receive theses drugs as intermittent bolus through epidural  
Intervention  Continuous epidural infusion vs intermittent epidural bolus with levobupivacaine and fentanyl for labor analgesia  Patients from both group will receive 0,0625% levobupivacaine and 1mcg per ml fentanyl as a loading dose and then One group will receive 0.0625% levobupivacaine and 0.5mcg per ml of fentanyl 10ml every hour begins 60 mins after loading dose and another group will receive 0.0625% levobupivacaine and 0.5mcg per ml fentanyl at a rate of 10ml per hour begins immediately after loading dose.
