Advantages: limited pain!

Disadvantages: sore lips

well this is amazing stuff! When i had my daughter i had not really thought about what i was going to have as pain relief and had kind of put the whole pain thing to the back of my mind!

I used gas and air when i had my daughter as i wanted a water birth and you are not able to have any other pain relief when in the pool. I said that i would try it thinking that i would have to get out and have something stronger but it didn't get to that stage!

I was hooked up to a machiene before i got into the pool and it told me when my contractions were happeing as i couldn't feel them - that is how good the entonox was!

I was in labour for several hours however i don't really remember any of it as i was in a haze until it was time to push. It was keeping me really calm and also giving me something to focus on. I did think i wanted something else towards the end but it was tooo late. I am pleased i got there just with gas and air and will try to do the same again next time (it can't have been tooooooo bad if i am considering a next time)!

I am soo pleased as straight after the birth i was able to get up and moving without worrying about what drugs i had used and them being passed on to my child. I won't rule out other drugs in the future (when in labour lol) but it worked lots better then i thought it would.
