What is ARM, and is it routine?
ARM stands for”Artificial Rupture of the Membranes”. This means that a doctor or midwife, using a plastic “crochet hook” with a long handle, control while taking gas and air and therefore you may find that you want to stop taking it while you are pushing if it is distracting you too much and stopping you focusing on the contractions Some women manage their entire labour on gas and air alone, while others find that they need another form of pain relief in the later stages of labour.
