Has anyone had a homebirth and not got gas and air ?

This is my 4th pregnancy, all births have been straight forward and relatively good.
BUT I know I could not cope without gas and air and that is my only concern about having a home birth.
The birth pool did nothing for me last time, I will try hypnotherapy wherever I pop but as I say the thought of the midwife forgetting or it not working fills me with horror.

One homebirth I've been to the gas and air was running low so another cannister was couriered over by hospital transport and it arrived really quickly. So don't let this pt you off

My mistake EcoMouse - don't want to get anyone into trouble! I knew it was legal to buy; didn't think you could be done for inhaling it.

two homebirths, no gas and air for either as by the time the flying squad arrrived it was too late for it
