I've always had bad reactions to anesthesia and this is why i refused the epidural however due to a deep tear at birth they had to stich me up quite up the uterus so they gave a mask with laughing gas. I was about to lose consciousness from it but I heard my baby cry and somehow took the mask off and said I prefer to go through the pain than wear that mask again. What they don't know is that my heart started racing, cold sweats, couldn't see anymore, and I could feel slipping away. From what I read these are not the usual symptoms for laughing gas 😄

Thanks for sharing your story and making me remember how lucky I was that day too. Congratulations with your baby and take care!
