    i really enjoyed using the gas. i felt that the sucking motion gave me something to concentrate on itms? i have used it in both my labours and found that it really helped me to relax and was very beneficial.

    I used gas for about a minute the first time round and it made me lose control of my legs and made me feel dizzy.

    I tried to not use it second time but did use it at a very low 'gas' setting ie mostly oxygen and found that it helped to numb pain but mainly helped control my breathing as it gave me something else to concentrate on.

    Hope you have a great birthing experience...good luck!
