August 13, 201411 yr In the UK I believe it is quite the norm for women in labour to have "gas and air" as pain relief. Just asked a nurse whether they have the same here and was told "no". Everyone else the same experience?
August 13, 201411 yr Author Also, why do you need a drip before going into labour? I don't think I have ever seen that in the UK.
August 13, 201411 yr every country hasw its own protocol. in israel a drip is also protocol to save time if meds or glucose are needed during labour, or at least the vein catheter is placed in a vein and closed, just in case one is needed. plus, are u sure they understood what air and gas meant? cause i didnt. i assume u mean laughing gas type stuff? here, not used. twilite type drug or epidural or natural are the preferred means... but maybe someoen else can help u out more.
