Eh. Kinda? I don’t know how much labels really matter in the grand scheme of things. This is one of those questions that my gut reaction is, “who cares?!”. Was it a good labor? Did mama feel empowered? Did it help? All right. I mean, personally, yes I would say it was medicated. But also that I could see why someone would say a natural birth.
I think the birth community is split between people who think medicated is ANY medical intervention and people who think medicated just means an epidural.
I’ve done no research on it. But I personally break interventions/ assistance pretty trictly into mechanical and medicinal. So I say yes.
I would say yes. But that’s because it makes me feel relaxed at first and then if I’m on too much nitrous then my vision starts blacking out and I have an anxiety attack kinda thing. And that’s what happens with other recreational substances that I have had in the past. I am in the dental world and it can definitely make people throw up/get super hyper/relaxes some people and can make people forget what happened. I would not want it during my labor.
