Nitrous oxide?!?

Question

Has anyone tried it? I’m excited to do something new. I am 38 weeks and am happy to not have to get a epidural.. but if the pain is too crazy I will switch over. Thoughts???

Answer

Everyone uses it in the UK here as standard! I’ve had it before for a tooth extraction and it was gooooood haha. You feel really relaxed and chilled.

Answer

I had it with my first and LOVED it!!!! I was totally awake and alert but was feeling no pain. It worked extremely quick but also wore off very quick if you take the mask off. Overall it was a very good choice for me (especially since I had a multi attempted failed epidural).

Answer

I had it after my labor when I was being stitched and it was AWESOME! HIGHLY RECOMMENED hehe

Answer

It helped me with my breathing, but it didn’t help with any pain.

Answer

You might want to check with your hospital to see if they even offer it first. Your doctor might not mind you being on it but they have to offer it. Good luck!

Answer

I am asking my doctor about it on Tuesday because that’s what I’m wanting! I’m allergic to almost all pain meds and I DO NOT want an epidural!!

Answer

I really wanted to and my hospital in L.A. doesn’t offer it as an option. Apparently Europe and Asia have been onboard for awhile, it seems like a good temporary pain relief measure.

Answer

I plan on trying it. (In California) My midwife said hardly anyone requests it but that moms who use it like it because it gives them a sense of control while taking the edge off.
