Nitrous oxide when in labor

My MW just informed me that it is now available at our hospital, wasn't w my first 2.5 years ago. So I'm wondering if anyone has experience, pros/cons??

I am interested in hearing real anecdote from those that used it.

+1. It is offered at my birthing center and I'm considering it as an option.

I used it with my son 10 years ago. I found it gave me something to focus on between pushing. I don't know if it gave me any relief but I didn't have any other pain medication so maybe?

I just remember that it helped me catch my breath and maybe calmed me down. It was a long time ago so my memory is suspect.
