Now everyone reacts differently to the drugs but ill explain how i felt on gas and air while its in my mind.
* Before gas and air while 5cm (entering the hospital)
I could count and breath through the early pains but towards the end of the hour i was shouting into a pillow and bent over the bed during. Painful.
* After gas and air (5-6 cm) on birthing ball
I was given my nossle took about ten breaths and did this face....
between contractions not breathing gas and air chatting to DH during silent but breathing gas and air- pain enough to make me say to Dh 'that hurt a bit' but no more screaming, midwifes asked if pain was more intense and i had to tell them i didnt know. could continue to bounce and move not bent over in pain anymore.
On gas and air i knew the pain was there but i couldnt give a flying fek... i wasnt stopping the gas and air to find out though.
Updating facebook, singing and dancing to 'thrift shop' song that was on the radio on the way to hospital.
* Waters breaking (6-10cm) up on the bed
Asked if i wanted any more pain relif told them i would wait to see if the gas and air stopped working she said it wouldnt but i didnt have any just incase (that is how my brain works on that stuff)
Waters broke and to 10 cm immediatly got off the bed. Again chatting between contractions, quiet and covering my face with my hands leant over the bed during, pain there but again not enough to upset me, more intence pressure feeling.
*Having baby (on bed again)
Pushed taking gas and air fine baby crowns after a few pushes, head out -- screamed for that bit, hurt enough for me to bite down on the nozzle forgetting to breath until i was told to breath and then gas and air took the pain away. head out - cord was around the kneck told to stop, now that was painful and difficult because its fighting every urge to push... panicked more than felt the pain though. Baby born!
All done. . . that is 100% honest how i found gas and air. Im a soft person too no tattoo's etc... im lucky that it works for me... one thing i found is start taking it as soon as you get a niggle because it takes some breaths to start feeling the effect. One contraction i didnt think it worked but it was because i took it too late because i was mid conversation.
Oh and dont update facebook while on it- i ended up putting some rubbish!
