Please correct me if I am wrong but women who birth in birth centres in Australia can use both pethidine and etonox can't they? If so, this is a big difference between them and their namesakes (alternative birthing centers and free standing birth centers) in the USA where 1. etonox is just never used anywhere in the USA(americans just don't use it, canadians do however) and 2. if you need demerol (pethidine or any other pharmacological pain relief) you are transferred to the regular delivery suite. All non-pharmacological options for pain relief are fine however.
