Birth is hard work, we’ll always admit that fact. At Gather Birth Cooperative, we’re also big believers in the many ways of finding comfort and relaxation during labor. From the numerous unmedicated options, to the medicated options available depending on your birth location, there are plenty of wonderful tools to add to your comfort plan.
This blog (linked at the bottom!) will discuss the medicated option of nitrous oxide, or laughing gas, for labor and delivery during your birth at a free-standing birth center or a hospital, with a midwife or OBGYN doctor. Though the Gather Birth team is located in the Minneapolis, St. Paul and Greater Minnesota area, we’ve been thoughtful to include considerations for people birthing around the United States.
The use of nitrous oxide as a comfort tool has been wide-spread in Europe for a while, however this option is still relatively new in the United States. Let’s break down some general information about nitrous oxide, then discuss the benefits and things to consider.
Scroll through to admire a glimpse into this fantastic couple’s birth story, and then check out our informative post all about nitrous oxide!
Welcome to the world, sweet Wilder! We are so glad you’re here.
