I think it is because of the insurance. Here in New Zealand giving birth is free, for everyone. As is all emergency hospital treatment And c sections only happen if you want one or if there is an medical reason. And yes we can have gas too. Just America that is different I guess

I'm from uk and gas and air is a pants I only liked it to chew on but epidurals are quite common over here cesareans aren't though we only get offered them as a emergency or prior medical condition the hospital I was in preferred assisted delivery (forceps which I had to have!) over cesarean we don't even get checked to dilation till we're in labour I didn't even know what effacement was till this app lol!

There seems to be a lot of difference between country's I'm from the uk and to be induced you generally need to be 14 days over your due date as apposed to what I've read on here from ladies from the states and epidurals aren't as normal in the hosp I'm using it's do strange. Do U know why you don't have gas and air ? It's meant to be great lol
