As your due date approaches, you will want to become familiar with the natural and medical intervention options for pain relief. Jupiter Medical Center has added nitrous oxide, commonly referred to as “laughing gas” for pain relief during labor. Nitrous oxide used for labor is a mixture of 50% nitrous gas and 50% oxygen and is inhaled through a mask. Nitrous is the only pain relief method used for labor that is cleared from the body through your lungs, so as soon as you pull the mask away, the nitrous effect is gone.
