Laughing Gas or Epidural

hi mummies, any mummies rely on laughing gas only ? or epidural. Any recommendations? I heard after doc burst your water bag, contraction will be much more worst.

Tried both for first pregnancy. Gas doesn't work for me and hence, makes me dizzy & sleepy. Epidural does work for me but it depends on individual. Some people, epidural don't work and ended with emergency C section. Epidural will have side effect after labour for some will be back pain esp if you don't maintain good posture, carrying baby for long, carrying heavy load. When you take epidural during the labour, you will have side effect like fever, rashes, etc. Yes, contractions will slowly kick in when doctor start to break your waterbag. End day it is your choice. Read up about it more and you can make the best decision for your body and baby.
