Mask...

I'm wondering if you ask for the mask during labor does it help numb the pain a lot, or can you still feel most of your contractions?

Nitrous oxide! I didn't have it but I was still in some pretty uncomfortable pain with an epidural! I think it's whatever you can handle, it would definitely probably help take off some of the edge and anxiety!!! It depends on how high they crank it too, lol. I got just regular oxygen when I was pushing ontop of my epidural and it helped me breathe!
