Entonox: a 50:50 mix of nitrous oxide and oxygen

The advantages of a home birth are becoming clearer... familiar surroundings, dedicated midwives and no rush to hospital. And another key advantage? Early supplies of entonox (gas & air).

Despite copious quantities of raspberry leaf tea laid up in preparation, no-one can predict d-day, which means the kit for home birth is delivered to the house two weeks early. Does this include a can of entonox? I think a pregnant bloke should be told.
