Pain relief for natural birth

Epidural. For me, right after my first contraction hits I crazily held onto my laughing gas and got too high from it (I was still inhaling when they injected the epidural). I was floating because they said to only inhale when needed but I was inhaling it the whole time lol 😂 (but thankfully because I was high, I couldn’t feel any pain).

Laughing gas didn’t work for me, and I didn’t get epidural.. could only rely on deep breaths in and slow deep breathing out during the contraction! And squeezing husband’s hand super tightly. 🫠

i went straight for epidural even before the big pain comes. Because I know eventually I will get it, I rather get it first before the pain comes! my entire labour was super relaxed and no pain at all.

I think it differs from body to body... Personally laughing gas didn't do anything to alleviate the pain. Pethidine lasted for a short while, while epidural worked the best for me.

Epidural works the best for me. And have it as soon as you can cause it will take some time to administer and take full effect.
