Alexandra Cordero holds her new baby, Elena, outside of Memorial Hospital North. Cordero opted for nitrous oxide to help her manage her pain while she had contractions during labor.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Immediately after giving birth to Elena, Alexandra Cordero held her 8-pound-1-ounce baby girl on her chest and watched as the baby began to nurse.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was the greatest feeling ever to have her on my chest and to be able to hold her,\u2019\u2019 Alexandra said. \u201cIt was a fully natural birth. I was able to feel her and that\u2019s what I wanted.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

During labor, Alexandra opted for nitrous oxide \u2013 laughing gas \u2013 now offered at Memorial Hospital North, as an alternative method for pain relief.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are so relaxed that once the contraction comes, it is a lot more bearable,\u2019\u2019 Alexandra said.<\/p>\n

When she gave birth to her son, Christian, now 3, she had an epidural. She said the procedure left her feeling groggy and confused when her son, born with an umbilical cord around his neck, was whisked off to a neonatal intensive care unit.<\/p>\n

One of the benefits of nitrous oxide, research shows, is that there is no effect on fetal outcomes and minimal negative effects on the mother. Breathing nitrous oxide gives patients additional oxygen and also releases endorphins, helping to reduce the perception of pain.<\/p>\n

\u201cThough this form of labor pain control is new to our area, it is common across Europe and increasingly being offered across the U.S,\u201d said Dr. Daniel R. Balch, director of anesthesia at UCHealth Memorial Hospital North.<\/p>\n

Alexandra said the nitrous oxide contributed to her good birthing experience.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was able to hold her for a good two hours,” she said. “She nursed really quickly, and she latched very well.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Her husband, Christian Cordero, said the birth of Elena was far less stressful than the birth of his son.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best way I can say it is \u2018It is night and day.\u2019 This was so quick, so easy and so healthy,\u2019\u2019 Christian Cordero said.<\/p>\n

\"Elena.
The Cordero family is happy to have a new addition — Elena. Alexandra holds the baby, while her father, Christian Cordero, and brother, Christian, 3, look on.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When used in labor or for therapeutic use immediately after birth, nitrous oxide is inhaled intermittently at a lower concentration than at a dentist\u2019s office. Expectant mothers may breathe the gas, a 50-50 blend of nitrous and oxygen, for a short time to help them through a contraction, and then remove the mask themselves until the gas is needed again. Nitrous oxide works in as little as 30 seconds and is out of one\u2019s system after a few breaths.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe believe a woman should have options when she plans for the birth of her child, and we are now able to give expectant mothers another safe, effective method to choose from,\u201d said Deb Bopp, a perinatal clinical nurse specialist at UCHealth Memorial Hospital. \u201cCertified nurse-midwives, obstetricians and anesthesia experts are available to explain all options to women to help them decide which method of pain relief, if any, they would prefer, and we support the choice with which they are most comfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alexandra said that she felt no after effects of the nitrous oxide.<\/p>\n

Elena was born at 11:58 a.m., and the Corderos were home at 1:30 p.m. the next day.<\/p>\n

“Thanks to the growing awareness and acceptance of the benefits of nitrous oxide for pain management during labor and UCHealth\u2019s recognition that laboring mothers should have choices for pain control during delivery, Memorial North is pleased to be the first in the area to offer our patients this option,” Dr. Balch said.<\/p>\n

Plans are underway to expand the offering to Memorial Hospital Central.<\/p>\n
