You need to get a few to actually send you into labour but it is worth it.. I’ll just say definitely ask for gas and air and don’t do it without, i was literally scarred after I had my first one without it

If the midwife recommends I went with whatever they suggested! They know when baby’s need to start coming out and yes definitely get the bloody gas and air! Makes the pain much more manageable xx

If you decide not to go, please dont just miss it. Call and cancel as its such a waste of NHS resources
