FTM, gave birth in Sept. had to be induced at 36w+2d because water bag leaked. After 12 hours of labour, but only 2cm dilated, decided to go for epi to “relax” in nurse’s words. was at 10cm in about an hour after epi was given. Nurses and doc will guide you to push even if you can’t find your lower body. Gave birth at 12plus am. Had minimal tear, able to walk around at 7am once epi effect wears off. Only thing to note is you’ll probably throw up if you do use laughing gas, at least I and a couple of my other friends did.
