Is Gas and air and TENS machine still considered natural birth in your opinion?

[Manfalou]

I had 3 hours of gas and air whilst in the birthing pool (which is where I gave birth) and tell people I had a natural birth... I did try the tens but it didn't do anything for me... I wouldn't worry too much, your body will know what you need when the time comes x

I would see a birth with G and A and/or TENS as natural. They take gas and air off you at the end anyways when you push and they are not absorbed by the body, so you do that without pain relief and can feel everything. Also, both leave your body within seconds if you wish to stop using them rather than anesthetic drugs, which can take a long time to wear off.
