I know I should probably wait until my actual visit at the BC I am hoping to register at but... I'm just really nosey now!

With my other 2 I gave birth on the delivery suite in the UK mainly because the midwife-led units were full, or more to the point there were not enough midwives to cover...

Anyway, with my last I only had Gas and Air which worked really well (and I had my own TENS machine) and I am keen on just using that again this time, but is G&A considered a drug in Birth Centres?

It is, but they will supply it.

Gas is the only drug most birth centres provide.

You can have nitrous oxide (gas and air) and some birth centres also off pethideine too. :)
