gas and air for labor pain

[babyberry000]

How many of you have used laughing gas and oxygen during labor instead of an epidural? And was it enough for you?

[Zahra147]

I'm edected to one borne every minute since i'm in UK already i just love the moment when the mom hold her baby for the first time ❤️

Gas and air is the first offered pain relief in Ireland.  
You have to be so many cm dilated before epidural  is offered.

Gas and air is good but can make some people vomit.

"One born every minute" is my favourite show lol. . Its brilliant everyone should watch it.

[Zahra147]

Yes it is mostly use in UK where i had my first even back home they offer it, their is no harm of using it u'll feel like drunk and laughing like crazy lol..
It help some women to manage the pain, didn't work for me any way..

EVERY ONE please please research all your options!! Epidurals are not the only option!

I've been watching a TV show called "one born every minute" on YouTube and they offer gas and air. First time I've seen this offered. A lot of women use it instead of the epidural. Very interesting. (:

[Zahra147]

Yes i had everything in my labor lol
The gas was good at the beginning but after they opened my water it was useless so i took morphen"spl" but after 2 hours of it it wasn't helping so i screamed for epidural and it was life safer ..

I should start working on my birthing plan soon, so I'll talk to it about my midwife. Thanks babyberry000

[babyberry000]

Yes, they do. You have to ask for it though.
I was doing research on different types of pain meds for labor and i guess 80% of women who do "natural births" use air and gas

[Sara_1211]

Yeah i heard they do it in parts of europe, australia, and africa. But never heard it in the US

[Allocate]

Oh I hope my hospital offers this

[ericatoday]

I didn't know they did that in the us

[babyberry000]

Its normally used in water births and home Births but some hospitals offer it as well
