Gas and air?

Question

I want to try and have a natural delivery,  but of I need some relief I'm considering going with gas and air instead of an epidural. What do you think,  has anyone had experience with it before?

Answer

I used it to help myself get over the fear of needles. Anytime they had to do something I would have some gas and air. It didn't help with pain too much but it made me black out and feel super woozy despite being totally conscious. It just meant I couldn't move or fight with nurses or the anaesthesiologist. I can't help it, I am so scared of needles my natural reaction is fight or flight, so either I try to run or fight them off.
I also had it while they performed my c section to help me not think about what was going on. Worked well for that.

Answer

I'm gonna be honest and say for me it didn't help with the pain at all. It just made me drift in and out of sleep. They took it off of me when I was ready to push and I wasn't happy lol
