Alan- what do you mean by that?

Kelly - isn't that how you need to use gas anyway? Take it as the contraction starts and then stop at the peak?

chocolatecatty - did you end up using it?

The midwife taking our antenatal classes was raving about them and I was feeling like it would be a great option to try to avoid drugs. I know it could be a PITA to take it on and off for showers/baths but I was figuring that mixing up the coping strategies could be a good thing.

Anyone else with +ve or -ve stories to share?
