– DeKalb Medical says it has become the first in metro Atlanta to offer nitrous oxide to women in labor. 

“Nitrous oxide, frequently used in dentist’s offices, has been proven advantageous for pain relief during labor,” the hospital said. “DeKalb Medical is the first hospital in metro Atlanta and the second in Georgia to offer Nitrous Oxide. Northeast Georgia Medical Center became the first in August of 2016.”

According to the hospital, “Nitrous oxide takes the edge off a mother’s intense contractions during labor while maintaining the feel and awareness of natural child birth. It is also a good option for mothers who arrive too late to receive an epidural or those that cannot have an epidural because of other medical issues.”

Her recipes are the inspiration for the restaurant, along with Filipino specialty dishes from Nycole’s husband, Lester Francisco, who grew up in Queens New York, and is originally from Manila, Philippines. Although Nycole is from Atlanta, she and Lester moved from New York to open Janet’s Kitchen Atlanta this year.”
