I wrote on my birth plan I was not to be offered it, but midwives secretly work for drug companies so push their filth on you all the time. You MUST try the gas. You NEED the gas. You NEED more drugs. Let's ignore your birth plan, lose it if we can, and then ignore you when you say your DH has a genetic condition that the baby may have inherited that means some of the drugs on offer will kill the baby. Ignore the stupid woman and kill the baby! We're midwives!
If you refuse too much, they wait until you're strapped down then shove it in your face... and when you're using it, then they tell you off and take it away.
ETA: as mentioned by Lulu, this is JUST my experience and hopefully not anybody elses'. But I do get a bit upset when I see so many women having faith in a piece of paper because I had faith in my piece of paper and it was "lost" by the hospital. Birth plans are great things but if you have a vital need not to be offered drugs (as I had) don't just say it to the midwives, don't write it on a piece of paper, get it tattooed onto you! Or ensure you know your midwives before birth (didn't have that option in my hospital) or bring in some decent support to back up your birth plan.
