prepare for. but when she wanted an epidural like her first delivery. >> i felt like i wanted to fully experience birth and delivery and i knew that with an epidural i wasn't going to be able to do that. >> that's when the mid wives at hospital center suggested she try nitrous oxide, or laughing gas an old type of anesthetic that most people know from the depthist chair but not the hospital. new to the delivery rooms in the united states but it's commonly used for labor and delivery in and canada. >> nitrous is really nice because if you don't like it can you stop, and the effects of it stop very quickly. >> reporter: laura patchen is the director of the mid wife program here at the hospital. she's showing us how women use the nitrous oxide machine. they simply take this mask and on their own decide when they want to breathe in the gas. each inhale or dose lasts between 30 seconds and a minute

compared to an epidural which can take hours to wear off. >> it's really used during the contraction and then when the contraction goes away if you stop breathing it the effects wear off. very quick. >> reporter: patchen says the nitrous oxide is not circulated through the bloodstream so there's no effect on the baby. women seem to have different reactions to. most describe it as a relief or a sense of calm. linda though says it helped her to lighten the mood during a stressful situation. >> i was a little silly, i would say, in using it. my partner reminded me of some of the jokes i made during delivery >> reporter: best part though when her baby girl was born linda says she was alert and ready to hold her. >> just to have something that's i think minimally invasive and also really effective is just nice and safe for women. >> the gas doctors are using at the hospital is formulated differently than the stuff you

get at the dentist office so it won't knock people out. it simply takes some of the edge off and it wears off quickly as they said. so a nice night out there. >> yeah. pretty nice night. >> did you ask him and he said no is that what it was? you want to talk to doug and he said no? >> i understand, man. >> let's take a look and show you what's happening out there right now. we are dealing with a little bit of a storm. we talked about this storm over the next couple of days. high temperatures right now or high temperatures today over 80 once again and with that that's the fifth day in a row we saw temperatures over 80 degrees. we're looking at 70 degrees right now. winds out of the south at 7 miles per hour under mostly clear skies. here's the temperature, 68 in gaithersburg and leesburg coming in at 70 degrees. looking pretty good no matter where you are. we saw shower activity back towards the mountains and all in all a beautiful thursday and we have another great day on

friday. back to the west, oklahoma seeing another day of severe weather they have flooding down there and they had tornado warnings, again down towards texas and same deal. this is going to be the scenario over the next two or three days and there's talk that thereby come rather big tornado outbreaks again, both friday and especially during the day on saturday so they are going to be reeling down there once again. for us we're watching sub tropical storm anna, a storm we've talked about for over the week. down towards the bahamas and drifting north very slowly. you can see that circulation center very, very well. now, most of this storm is going to miss us. it will move over to raleigh and down towards the south. that means we're on the dryer side of the storm and we'll take you through it. it's spinning off the coast and then making its way on shore south of raleigh down towards most of the outer banks could see some wind and a lot of rain, upwards of 4 to 8 inches of rain and on sunday night it's still down to the south. notice we're still dealing with the cloud cover. isolated showers possible and for the most part we're not going to have to deal top of

with anna as you make the way up the coast. 80 degrees in leesburg and 83 in culpeper and 86 over towards annapolis. we'll call it a fantastic friday and thinking about doing a little exercise tomorrow, temperatures looking good, 61 at 7:00 a.m. and 77 by 11:00 and up to that 821-degree mark at 3:00 w.low humidity it will be very comfortable. temperatures 22 on saturday. partly cloudy skies and can't rule out a shower on saturday and i've left it off. 30% chance on friday and 825 on monday so we're seeing the warmer temperatures move back in. a chance. thunderstorms on monday and then a good chance of some storms during the day on tuesday. high temperature of 88 degrees. some areas could get close to 90 and tuesday is the day we could see some stronger storms there, too so we'll continue to watch that. wednesday and thursday, much cooler. temperatures down around 70 degrees and it's a good thing that we can finally say 70 is cool. >> yes, it is and making a three-day weekend, if you can.

>> yes. >> tomorrow looks great. >> like it like that. we've got sports coming up. how is john wall going to play with five broken bones? we're going to look ♪ there is no royal blood in this country. nothing is reserved for anyone. it's all just out there...

...waiting... ...for someone to reach out... ...and take it. and the ones who do... ...these are the kings and queens of america. ♪

okay, i need a better pizza. one made with only real cheese. a pizza my family will love. (announcer) freschetta naturally rising crust pizza. freschetta. made better to taste better.

a lot of us were really anticipating this game on saturday but also disappointed this john, he may not play right? probably won't play? >> there's a possibility he may not play. you three are trying to go to the game on saturday. you're waiting to see what happens to john wall? >> no, no i'm going anyhow.

>> you're going anyway? >> yeah, absolutely. >> i'll be there either way. >> either way. >> good to hear. >> good to know. never a good thing for any nba team to go without their star player for any extended period of time and we hope that's not the case for the wizards. john wall has five fractures in his non-shooting hand. when wall does not play, the wiz kids own a record of 10-40. the wizards still avalue ating whether he'll be able to play. the fractured bones kept him out in game two and so swoel swollen that hand he can't handle a basketball, that according to his head coach. if wall can't go ramon sessions will play point guard with garrett temple backing him up. with john wall or without him paul pierce says there's no excuses. >> it's definitely difficult for team but i'm sure it's even more devastating for john. he works so hard to get to this point in his career and, you

know, to play so well throughout these playoffs, i know it's devastating, so we'll have to real around one another and use this as motivation to go out here and try to win these games especially for john. >> game three saturday at 5:00 p.m. at verizon center. let's move on to baseball now for a moment. the nationals they have the night off. still they have a three-game series with the braves starting tomorrow. they are looking to get to .500 with a victory tomorrow night. elsewhere over in the american league, the orioles visiting the new york yankees. alex rodriguez 660 homers coming into tonight and tied with willie mays for fourth all time. bottom four, facing chris tillman, is this 661, delmon young says no. that's a long sac fly robbing the home run catch right there. young keeps that in the park. this game is tied at one. top of the third, tillman again versus a-rod, this time no one is catching this.

661 for rodriguez moves him to fourth place all time on baseball's home run list. yankees win this game 4-3. moving on to hockey now. each game in this capitals/rangers series has been decided by a goal. this post season the capitals creating their own luck with their physical play and unlike past years it's alex ovechkin and backstrom leading the way but it's the entire team. 11 different players have scored goals during this playoff run. >> a lot of pressure on the top guys. there's a big burden that comes with that. at the same time it shouldn't let the other guys off with no burden you know. you can't just -- you know, sometimes you've got to stand up and, you know and -- and step up and guys have. >> all right. capitals try to close it out tomorrow night at

well, keys an sunglasses get left behind at airport security and this week something much more valuable turned up. the airport in newark japanese real estate entrepreneur left behind this, a $200,000 golden diamond encrusted cartier watch. an agent spot it had put it in lost and found. apparently that's where you put a watch that costs more than any of our cars. yesterday the entrepreneur called the airport looking for it. they used surveillance video to confirm, yeah he was the owner.
