Laughing all the way to a baby

Mar 2, 2015

When I worked at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford, England, moms were able to use Nitrous oxide to alleviate some of the pain of birthing their baby. Mom uses it as the contraction starts and puts the mask down as it ends. And, the nitrous is out of her system just as quickly. There are no linger effects and no needles and risky spinal injections.

I am eager for this to be available throughout the USA. No anesthesiologist is needed as mom administers it herself. Some contractions she can manage and others are a bit more intense, so she takes a breath of the laugh gas, as it is sometimes called.
