When I'm in labour I'm planning on going with no pain relief for as long as possible (I'm having a…

That's what I'm hoping for.... 👍

@ssumner, fingers crossed it works out :)

I'm wanting a water birth too and only want gas and air unless the pain is so unbearable I have to have something stronger but planning on gas and air for as long as I can xx

@courtniegeexo, I don't even want that if I can avoid it because I heard it can make you feel sick/high

In some ladies it does make them feel sick but you can always stop it if you want but it does help pain slightly that's why I'm opting for that instead of anything else

Same here, as the thought of am epidural scares the hell out of me! Pretty sure they start you on paracetamol, water is supposed to be fantastic for pain relief. x

Same on avoiding gas and air too haha! I literally want just the water to be my pain relief, but am also about to start reading a book about hypnobirthing too. z

I had pethidine last time apparently they now offer a new one which is a needle in your hand and u hit a button everytime u have a contraction to take the edge off only lasts two mins and flushes out I want to stick to.gas an air this time and maybe that one as peth is crap and I want to do hypnobirthing

I had a water birth and only had 3 puffs of gas and air. Couldn't have any more as made me feel sick but the water is relaxing enough

I'm thinking of water birth too. at least to start with. my friend was out and about all day contracting..... went to hospital when she thought it's time to push . when she got there baby was coming out before she took her pants off.... Maybe being active and take your mind of it with other things like MOT your car like she did is the key girls.....

I had a water birth... A-MAAAZING!

However, I shouted for gas and air and chewed on the tube and screamed through it. I don't actually think I took a lot in 😂
