Gas & Air just makes everyone else sound really really far away.... 

after numerous doses of pethidine,  (also crap... just stops you being able to form the words to complain about the pain), and I finally got the epidural (now THAT is pain relief)...   I was pretty nutted....   apparently I had half the gas & air mask in my mouth!  

I am thinking I probably did not look my best right then!

still all of the above were more effective than some of the stuff the first midwife on duty bought me...  these included tens machine (yeah... cos electric shocks ontop of the contraction pains were just what I needed), a beanbag (seriously), whale music, and.... a rocking chair (had I been physically able to, I would have embedded that into her head for her to take away again with her).

i'm glad this series started the day AFTER i had my baby especially as i was terrified when told i was going to be induced via pessary and it could take days (tho tbh i was more worried about childcare during that time ) low and behold a woman was on it last week being induced in the same way for the same reasons, was there 4 days and was sent home

i never was induced in the end anyways, i think my fear of it made my waters break just after i got to the hospital...so it was natural in the end LOL

i was throwing abuse (then apologising) to the OH one minute..then given gas and air and we started both laughing cos i thought i sounded like darth vader

when i got to stage two...THEN it got a bit too much for even gas and air..didn't stop sucking on the bloody thing though lol! i had a cut n my hand from holding it so tight

tbh i found it helped with my breathing...deep and slow

How she never told him to eff off, I'll never know.The woman must be a saint to put up with that prat. Between him moaning and the midwife's *soft face soft face soft face gentle gentle soft face* the poor bliddy woman mist have felt ready to kill them both!
with the size of those ears it's no wonder she has difficulty pushing his kids out

I won't bother with my story as I know some here are expecting, I was traumatised with my 1st, in those days you got an enema and were shaved with talcum powder instead of shaving gel, pinking shears and a sewing machine was involved, I smacked Mr Essie in the mouth right hard, I screamed for 12 solid hours, got slapped by a consultant Harridan for upsetting everyone else, I know how to ride a horse now due to being strung up in stirrups for 2 hours waiting for them to plug the 'Singer' in. My darling boy weighed 5lb. I didn't have sex with my husband until 18 months later due to my trauma. I swore I would never have another, when my boy was 9Â― while I was asleep my husband got me pregnant again. My youngest way exceeded the first for trauma and he weighed 4lb. That's when I started sleeping with a Sabatier under my pillow.

Blizzie I truly believe that some eminent Scientist's have missed the boat. Once we are impregnated, there should be a way of painlessly and safely with love, removing the egg's and our precious babies should be grown in luxury miniature greenhouses for those of us who are like me. I would have had loads of children if that was possible. Some might think I'm a bitch, which is why I didn't tell the whole story.
