Nitrous oxide is a gentle, effective comfort option used during labor that many women in labor love 💨💛
Why some families choose nitrous oxide:
🤍 Helps take the edge off pain and anxiety
🤍 You stay awake, aware, and in control
🤍 Works quickly and wears off fast
🤍 You control when and how much you use
🤍 Can be used during any stage of labor
🤍 Safe for both birthing parent and baby
It doesn’t take pain away completely, but it can help you relax, breathe, and cope through contractions with more ease.
👉 If nitrous oxide isn’t currently available at your birthing location, it’s worth asking why. Have a conversation with your provider, advocate for yourself, and demand more options. You deserve informed choice and access to comfort measures that support your birth experience.
Knowledge is power—and birth is no place for limited choices. 💪✨
