If you're looking for a more natural form of pain relief during labour, as opposed to something strong such as an epidural, you might want to consider gas and air.🌬️

It's an odourless, colourless gas that you inhale through a mouthpiece, which helps to take the edge off of your labour pain.

You inhale it through a mouthpiece and a filter which you will be in control of throughout your labour. It has a two-way valve that releases the gas and air ready for you to breathe in and then takes away the carbon dioxide that you breathe out. You may find you need to practice so you can get the timing right, it can take a few breaths for the gas to kick in and a couple of minutes to ensure you get the maximum effect.
