my midwife supplied the oxygen.
with the gas i think working on pain management is better then relying on having painmeds. i found that also not having drugs took the temptation away for wanting them.
the use of water is great for pain management. have you got a pool? a shower head on a hose?
We've just completed a Calm Birth course - so water is definitely something I want to try.
Because my mum is not a Home Birth Midwife (she's been practising about 40 years the first 20 as an Independant Midwife but the last 20 years has been in hospitals) she has access to everything except oxygen and entonox (which is fine for the gas - I don't mind not having that) but I feel as though oxygen and a regulator to resus bub just in case is necessary
