Advantages: relieves pain

Disadvantages: wears off, can make you sick, makes you feel really liht headed

I wasnt sure about having gas and air at first, ive seen my mum take it for her hip when its disloacted nad it just seemed to really send her in a daze ,which i didnt find nice to watch it would also make her feel sick which i didnt like the thought of either. But when it come to been in the delivery room i need pain relief i was having twins as it was but contractions are not the best pain in the world and can be agony. I already pretty much know how to use it because of seeing my mum take it but it is really easy to do, as soon as your feeling a contraction you have to take a really deep breathe in. it does relive some of the pain but it doesnt go away totally and you have to take it continuosly for each contraxtion for it to take effect. I also had epidural but the gas and air was great when i was just getting started ifnact i think i used it around 3 or 4 hours.

Summary: I would have gas and air again its a good pain relief but not the most effective.
