Intervention: Intravenous line (IV) Methadone (Drug)
Spinal Anesthesia with Intrathecal Morphine
Subjects will receive spinal anesthesia (intrathecal bupivacaine with fentanyl) with intrathecal morphine
Intervention: Intrathecal Morphine (Drug)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Total opioid consumption
Time Frame: 24 hours post-delivery, 48 hours post-delivery
Total opioid consumption of either intrathecal opiate or intravenous methadone at 24-48 hours after delivery.
